Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that calcium can be beneficial for supporting bone density and neuromuscular function, but it is crucial to be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with supplementation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural foundation for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the product label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of these medications or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease.
