Our assessment
The evidence shows that iron is a critical mineral, but the data you provided does not contain specific information about GNC Ultra Iron 65 mg. We can only assess the ingredient calcium from the provided data. Data not available for the specific product's efficacy.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal conductor for your nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, as well as muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Based on the data, high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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]. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but a specific count for this product is not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
