Our assessment
Our assessment: The product Patient One 1 MediNutritionals Q-Folate contains calcium as an ingredient. The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health, but the data does not provide a specific dose for this product, so we cannot verify if the amount is ideal for you. For general bone support, the data confirms calcium's role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton and a signal regulator for your nerves. It supports bone density by depositing minerals into your bone matrix, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are data not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine 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
Our recommendation: Because the exact calcium dose in this product is data not available, we cannot confirm if it meets your needs. If you are taking any of the medications listed above, take calcium at a different time of day. Do not exceed the Tolerable Upper Intake Level without medical supervision. Speak with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this supplement, especially if you have a history of kidney stones or heart conditions [NIH ODS].
