You should be cautious about any claims not supported by the specific ingredients listed on the label.
How it works
Calcium works as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is essential for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the building block that keeps your skeleton strong and your muscles contracting and relaxing properly.
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on side effects specific to this product is not available.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: do not take this supplement without consulting your healthcare provider. Your first step should be to review the full label for all ingredients. If you choose to take it, be aware of the calcium interactions with medications and the potential for side effects at high doses. Always disclose all supplements to your doctor and pharmacist [NIH ODS].
