How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body's structure and function. It supports bone mineralization and density, and is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the key building block your body uses to keep your skeleton strong and your muscles working properly.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on side effects specific to this product is not available.
Our recommendation
We recommend you approach this product with caution. Before starting, check your total calcium intake from all sources (food and supplements) to avoid exceeding safe levels. If you take any medications listed in the interactions, take this supplement at least two hours apart from them. Data not available for the probiotic or cranberry components in this specific formula, so consult your doctor before use. [NIH ODS] [FDA data]
