Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in this product, calcium, has a well-established role in bone health. However, the specific liquid formulation from Nature's Plus does not have enough data to make a unique assessment beyond what is known about the mineral itself. Our assessment focuses on the calcium content, as that is the only ingredient with sufficient data provided.
How it works
Calcium is a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and bone density, and it also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the structural building block for your skeleton and a key messenger for your muscles and nerves.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, high intakes can cause constipation, nausea, and poor muscle tone. Extremely high levels in the blood and urine can lead to poor kidney function, abnormal heart rhythms, and an increased risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Some research also suggests high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you are using this product for its calcium, be cautious about your total daily intake from all sources. Data not available for the specific benefits of this liquid formulation over other calcium forms. We recommend you check your total calcium intake from food and other supplements to avoid exceeding safe levels, and consult your doctor before starting this product, especially if you take medications like bisphosphonates or thyroid medication, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS].
