How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization to help maintain bone density and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which is important for muscle recovery and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a key mineral that helps your muscles relax after contracting and keeps your bones strong.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels of calcium in your blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. You should also know that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. If you take any prescription medications, especially those listed above, take this product at least two hours apart from your medication. If you have a history of kidney problems, heart disease, or prostate cancer, consult your doctor before using this product. For most people, getting calcium from food sources is the safest approach [NIH ODS].
