Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that Anabolic Laboratories B6-Plus, containing calcium, supports bone density and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware of the potential risks associated with high calcium intake, including an increased risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder — it is essential for bone mineralization and mineral deposition, helping to keep your skeleton strong [NIH ODS]. It also acts as a nerve relaxant, supporting muscle relaxation and proper nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Safety profile: The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for products in this category [FDA data]. High levels of calcium in your 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
Our recommendation: You should take this supplement only if you have a confirmed need for extra calcium. Be cautious of your total daily intake from all sources to avoid high blood levels. If you take any of the listed medications, separate your calcium dose by at least two hours [NIH ODS].
