Our assessment
The evidence shows that this multivitamin contains essential minerals, but you need to be aware of specific risks. Based on the ingredient Calcium, our assessment is that this supplement can support bone health, but you must be cautious about the total calcium you consume from all sources, including food [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This means it helps both your skeleton and your muscles function properly.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category. Specific safety data for calcium shows that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium in your blood or urine can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Also, calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by reviewing your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements to avoid exceeding safe levels. If you take medications, separate calcium by at least two hours when possible [NIH ODS]. Data not available on the exact calcium dose per gummy, so check the label carefully. If you have a history of kidney stones or heart disease, consult your doctor before use [NIH ODS].
