How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your bones stay dense and your muscles relax properly after contracting [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA 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. Very high levels 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
Because the exact calcium content in this product is not provided, we cannot recommend it as a reliable source. If you are looking to supplement calcium, choose a product with a clearly stated dose. If you take any medications listed above, take calcium supplements at a different time of day to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
