Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium, as found in this formula, is a well-researched mineral for bone health. However, you should be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with supplementation. Data not available for the specific product formulation beyond the listed ingredient.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural foundation for your body. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your bone matrix, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood and urine 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 supplements. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available for the specific dose in this formula. Speak with your doctor before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of these medications or have a history of kidney issues.
