Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, you should be aware that the data on calcium supplementation carries important safety considerations that require careful attention [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a structural building block for your bones through bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category overall. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in your 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Before taking this supplement, you should consult your healthcare provider to discuss your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Be especially cautious if you take any of the medications that interact with calcium. Data not available on the specific dosage of calcium in this product, so you cannot confirm your intake level [NIH ODS].
