Our assessment
The evidence shows that BIOVEA Cal-Mag-Zinc provides a combination of minerals where calcium is the most significant ingredient for bone health. Our assessment is that this supplement can be useful for supporting your bone density, but you must be cautious about total calcium intake from all sources [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your skeleton and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps with neuromuscular relaxation and proper nerve signaling. Think of calcium as the key building block for maintaining strong bones throughout your life [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592059 total adverse event reports across all supplement products. For the calcium component specifically, high levels 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. Some research also suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Start by reviewing your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements to avoid exceeding safe levels. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin — take this supplement at least two hours apart from those medications [NIH ODS]. Data not available for specific dosing of the other minerals in this product.
