How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your bone structure and plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, which is important for proper muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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
If you are using this product for its calcium content, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend you consult your healthcare provider before taking this supplement, especially if you take any of these medications or have a history of kidney issues.
