How it works
Think of calcium as a building block and a messenger. It works through bone mineralization to support bone density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, but the number of reports specific to this product is not available. For calcium, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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
If you choose to use this product, check the label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. Be aware of your total daily calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements, to avoid exceeding safe levels. If you take any of the listed medications, take this supplement at a different time of day to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
