Our assessment
The evidence shows that MacroLife Naturals Miracle Reds contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health, but the risks associated with supplementation are significant. Data not available on the specific amounts of calcium in this product, making it impossible to determine a safe or effective dose from this label alone.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body's foundation. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into bone tissue, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation, which is critical for muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high 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].
Our recommendation
We recommend caution with this product. Since the specific calcium content is not listed, you cannot control your intake. If you choose to use it, be aware that calcium can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement.
