Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in this product, calcium, plays a key role in bone health. However, you should be aware that high intakes from supplements carry significant risks that need careful management. Data on the specific prebiotic and probiotic blend in this product is not available.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a cellular messenger. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is essential for muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, 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
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake for calcium without medical supervision. If you take any of the listed medications, separate your calcium supplement by at least two hours. Consult your doctor before starting this supplement, especially if you have a history of kidney stones or heart disease [NIH ODS].
