NewtonEverett Calcium With Vitamin D
Brand: NewtonEverett · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a foundational mineral for bone health, but the combination with vitamin D in this product requires careful consideration of your total daily intake. For most adults, the goal is to meet, not exceed, your daily needs through diet and supplements combined [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as the building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Vitamin D is typically added to help your body absorb that calcium more efficiently.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's side effects. However, FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for calcium supplements. High calcium intakes from supplements may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high levels can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should review your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements to avoid exceeding safe limits. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. If you take any of these, separate your supplement by at least 2 hours. Consult your healthcare provider to determine if this product is right for you.
