How it works
Calcium plays a key role in bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also aids in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's side effects. However, based on general FDA data, there were 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements.

Signs of excessive calcium include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
