Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data on its specific benefits comes from studies on calcium itself, not from any clinical trials on this particular brand. We can tell you that calcium supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS], but we cannot confirm the effectiveness of this specific formulation without product-specific research.
How it works
Calcium acts as a key structural component for your bones and teeth, and it plays a critical role in nerve signaling and muscle function. Think of it as the building block that helps your skeletal system stay strong and your muscles contract and relax properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you prioritize getting calcium from food sources first, as whole foods provide a balanced nutrient profile. If you choose to supplement, discuss your total daily intake with your healthcare provider to avoid exceeding safe levels, especially since high calcium intake carries notable risks [NIH ODS]. Do not take this product within two hours of taking any prescription medications that interact with calcium [NIH ODS].
