Our assessment is that calcium is essential for bone health and muscle function, but you should be aware of specific safety considerations and potential interactions before taking this supplement [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body’s structural and signaling systems. It supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain strong bones, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, which allows your muscles to relax and your nerves to transmit signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available on specific adverse events for this product. However, for calcium in general, FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for supplements. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Before starting this supplement, you should consider that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider to ensure this supplement is safe for your individual health needs and to discuss appropriate dosing based on your diet and current medications [NIH ODS].
