Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary ingredient in this product, calcium, is essential for bone health. However, based on the available data, we cannot evaluate the specific benefits of this product because the exact ingredient amounts and formulation details are not provided on the label. You should be cautious about the risks associated with high calcium intake, which are well-documented [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, the FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for products in this category. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Excess calcium in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend that you do not take this supplement without first consulting your doctor. Because the label is missing specific dose information, you cannot know how much calcium you are consuming. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
