Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, based on the data provided, we cannot assess the full formulation of this supplement, as ingredient amounts and other components are not listed. Our assessment is that you should be cautious, as high calcium intake carries documented risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation for proper muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the specific dose of calcium in this product, so we cannot recommend a starting dose. Before taking this supplement, you should consult your healthcare provider, especially if you take any medications that interact with calcium [NIH ODS]. A blood test for calcium levels may be warranted to avoid toxicity [NIH ODS].
