How it works
Calcium acts as a master builder for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the primary material your body uses to keep your bones strong and your muscles functioning properly.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer.

Our recommendation
Before starting this supplement, review your total calcium intake from food and other supplements.
