Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in this product, Calcium, plays a key role in bone health, but it comes with significant safety considerations. For a general audience, we recommend getting most of your calcium from food and using supplements only when dietary intake is insufficient [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for preventing fractures. Additionally, it helps your muscles relax after contracting and supports proper nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood calcium levels can cause poor muscle tone, kidney dysfunction, 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
Be cautious with calcium supplements. They can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. If you take any of these medications, separate your calcium dose by at least 2 hours. We recommend you aim for a total daily calcium intake of 1,000–1,200 mg from all sources, but do not exceed the tolerable upper level without medical supervision [NIH ODS].
