Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium, a key mineral in this product, plays a vital role in bone health, but you need to be careful with dosing. Our assessment: while calcium supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS], the data reveals significant risks at high intakes that you must consider before supplementing.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization and helps your muscles relax after contracting [NIH ODS]. This dual role makes it essential for daily function.
Safety profile
FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High blood 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
Data not available on the specific calcium dose in this product. Your first step is to check the label for the exact amount per serving. If you take calcium, do not exceed the RDA without medical supervision, and separate it from your thyroid or antibiotic medications by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS].
