Our assessment
The evidence shows that this supplement contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data for this specific product is limited, and we must be cautious. Our assessment is based only on the ingredient calcium, as no other ingredient data was provided.
How it works
Calcium plays a key role in your body as a master regulator for bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data on this specific product's side effects is not available. However, some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the 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 reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you speak with your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any medications. Do not exceed the recommended daily allowance for calcium without professional guidance. Data not available on optimal dosing for this specific product.
