How it works
Calcium functions primarily in bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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
Data not available on the specific dosage of calcium in this product. Because high calcium intakes carry significant risks, we cannot recommend this supplement without knowing the exact amount per serving. Consult your healthcare provider to determine if calcium supplementation is appropriate for you, and always check the label for the precise ingredient dosage [NIH ODS].
