Bulletproof Calcium D-Glucarate
Brand: Bulletproof · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Bulletproof Calcium D-Glucarate is a calcium supplement, and the data we have is specific to the mineral calcium. For general bone health and nerve function, calcium is well-supported, but you should be aware of significant safety considerations before adding this to your routine [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain strong bones, and it is essential for neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels can cause constipation, nausea, poor muscle tone, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the safety data on calcium carries notable risks, do not exceed the recommended daily allowance without medical supervision. If you take any prescription medications, separate your calcium dose by at least two hours. Consult your doctor to see if calcium supplementation is appropriate for your specific health needs [NIH ODS].
