How it works
Think of the calcium in this product as a key structural component for your bones and a regulator of nerve and muscle function. It works through bone mineralization to support density and mineral deposition, and it assists with neuromuscular relaxation to support muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, but specific report counts for this product or its calcium ingredient are not available in the provided data.

Our recommendation
You should consider this product as a source of supplemental calcium, but do not exceed your total daily calcium needs from all sources. Check with your healthcare provider before using this product if you take any of the medications listed above, or if you have a history of kidney stones, heart conditions, or prostate cancer. Data on the fiber and prebiotic content is not available, so you cannot rely on this product for those benefits based on the information provided [NIH ODS].
