The specific amounts of calcium in this product are not available in the data provided, so you should check the product label carefully [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, which is critical for preventing fractures as you age. Calcium also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly after contraction [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, but specific data for Macro Greens is not available. For calcium specifically, there are important safety concerns. High intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood levels 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
Check the product label to see the exact amount of calcium per serving. Be cautious if you take other supplements or medications, as calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. If you have a history of kidney disease, heart problems, or prostate cancer, talk to your doctor before using this product. Data not available on other ingredients in this formula.
