Bronson Laboratories Mineral Insurance Formula
Brand: Bronson Laboratories · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Bronson Laboratories Mineral Insurance Formula contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment: this product can support your bone density, but you must be cautious about your total daily calcium intake from all sources [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, the data indicates that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you consider this supplement only if your diet is low in calcium. However, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Take it at least two hours apart from these medications. Data on specific dosing for this formula is not available, so consult your healthcare provider before starting [NIH ODS].
