How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, which is critical for preventing fractures as you age. Calcium also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood calcium levels 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
Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Take this product at least two hours apart from those medications. Consult your doctor before starting if you have kidney issues or a history of heart disease. Data not available on the exact calcium dosage in this product, so check the label carefully.
