Bronson Laboratories Vitamin & Mineral Formula
Brand: Bronson Laboratories · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Bronson Laboratories Vitamin & Mineral Formula contains calcium, which is a well-studied mineral for bone health. However, the data provided does not include the specific dosage of calcium in this product, so we cannot confirm if it meets the recommended daily intake for you. Based on the available data, the key ingredient is calcium, which supports bone density [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density by depositing minerals into your bone matrix [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after contraction [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body may leach it from your bones, weakening them over time.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but the specific report count for this product is data not available. For calcium, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium in the 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend checking the product label for the exact calcium dosage before use. If you are taking any medications, especially antibiotics or thyroid medication, take this supplement at least 2 hours apart from those drugs to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS]. Start with a low dose if you are new to calcium supplements, and drink plenty of water to reduce the risk of constipation. If you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer, consult your doctor before using this product [NIH ODS].
