Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product provides 29 mg of chelated iron, but our assessment is based on the data provided for calcium, not iron. For calcium, data supports its role in bone mineralization and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, we cannot assess the specific iron content or its effects using the provided information, as the data set is incomplete for this ingredient.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component — it supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. The mechanism for iron is not detailed in the provided data.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements in the data set. Specific side effects for calcium include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease at very high blood levels [FDA data] [NIH ODS]. Data not available for iron-specific side effects from this product.
Our recommendation
We cannot provide a recommendation for this specific product because the data provided is for calcium, not iron. If you are considering this supplement, consult your healthcare provider to confirm it meets your needs. For calcium, be aware that high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and it can interfere with medications like bisphosphonates and certain antibiotics [NIH ODS].
