Our assessment
The evidence shows that Finest Nutrition Calcium Magnesium & Zinc can be a convenient way to support bone health, but you need to be aware of important safety considerations. Our assessment is based on the available data for calcium, the primary active ingredient in this formula.
How it works
Think of calcium as a master builder for your skeleton. Its primary role is bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation by supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, for the ingredient calcium, FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products. Potential side effects from high calcium intake include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [FDA data]. Some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start with a single serving per day and take it with food to improve absorption. If you take prescription medications, especially those listed above, take this supplement at least two hours apart from your medication. Do not exceed the recommended dose, and speak with your doctor before starting if you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
