Our assessment

Our assessment is that Calcium is essential for bone health and nerve function, but the data does not provide specific details about the other enzymes listed on the label. For the Calcium component, the data is clear on both benefits and risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of Calcium as a structural and signaling mineral. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your bone matrix, and it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation, allowing your muscles and nerves to communicate properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592059 total adverse event reports across all products. For Calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High 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
You should be cautious with calcium supplementation. It can reduce absorption of several medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. Data not available on the specific enzyme blend's safety or efficacy. Talk to your doctor before starting this supplement, especially if you take any medications [NIH ODS].
