How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation by supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Be aware of potential risks. Some research suggests that 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the specific calcium dose in this product. Because of the potential risks from high calcium intake, you should check the supplement label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of the medications listed above [NIH ODS].
