Peggy's Body Science Mineral Complex
Brand: Peggy's Body Science · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary ingredient in this product, calcium, is essential for bone health, but the benefits must be weighed against potential risks. For you, this means calcium supports strong bones and proper nerve function, but taking too much can be harmful [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine 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
Before taking this supplement, check your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, so take it at a different time of day [NIH ODS]. Speak with your doctor to determine if this product is right for you, as data on the specific formula is not available.
