Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, the data on this specific product is limited, and we must focus on the ingredient’s known effects and risks.
How it works
Calcium supports your body through bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and neuromuscular relaxation, which aids muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and can lead to side effects such as constipation, nausea, weight loss, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should be cautious with this product due to potential risks from high calcium intake. If you take any medications, check with your pharmacist about possible interactions. Start with the lowest effective dose and monitor for side effects like constipation or nausea [NIH ODS].
