Our assessment
The evidence shows that this supplement is a calcium product. Our assessment is that calcium is essential for your body, but you need to be careful with dosing. The data confirms that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware of specific risks and interactions before starting any regimen.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signaler for your body. It works by supporting bone density and mineral deposition, which keeps your skeleton strong. Additionally, it plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for this product category. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from high blood and urine levels include 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
Start by talking to your doctor about your current diet and any medications you take. Because calcium interacts with many common prescriptions, you should take this supplement at a different time than those medications [NIH ODS]. Do not exceed recommended doses, and be aware that high intakes carry serious cardiovascular risks [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific dose per serving for this product is not available.
