How it works
Think of calcium as a key building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is also crucial for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without enough calcium, your body will leach it from your bones to support other vital functions.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though this number is not specific to this product. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects of very high calcium levels include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
