Our assessment
Our assessment: Rugby Fer-iron Liquid contains calcium, and the evidence shows this mineral is essential for strong bones and proper muscle function. However, you should be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with calcium supplements before using this product. Data not available for other ingredients.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Safety profile: The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Before using Rugby Fer-iron Liquid, check with your healthcare provider to see if calcium supplementation is right for you, especially if you take any prescription medications. Do not exceed recommended doses, and be aware of the potential for serious side effects at high levels. Data not available for other ingredients or specific dosing.
