Our assessment
The evidence shows that the calcium in Bronson Vitamin & Mineral Formula plays a crucial role in supporting your bone health. However, you need to be careful about your total daily intake from all sources, as high levels of calcium carry notable risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones and nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in your blood and urine 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
Consider your total calcium intake from food and supplements. If you take this formula, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
