Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and muscle function [NIH ODS]. However, it is important to understand both the benefits and the risks before starting any supplement. Data not available for the specific probiotic blend in this product, so our assessment focuses on the calcium component.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body — it supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the structural foundation for your skeleton and the key that helps your muscles and nerves communicate smoothly.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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
Before taking this supplement, you should check your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the Tolerable Upper Intake Level unless directed by your healthcare provider. If you take any medications listed above, separate your calcium dose by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS]. Consult your physician before starting, especially if you have kidney issues or a history of heart disease [NIH ODS].
