Brand: Cooper Complete · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this multivitamin with iron provides foundational nutrients, including calcium for bone health. However, you should be aware of the specific safety considerations for calcium, especially if you take other medications. Data not available for all ingredients in this specific formula.
How it works
Calcium in this formula acts as a master regulator for your body’s structural and signaling systems. It supports bone mineralization, helping maintain bone density, and aids neuromuscular relaxation, which is important for proper muscle and nerve function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, the data shows that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, 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
Start by reviewing your total calcium intake from food and other supplements to avoid exceeding safe levels. Take this supplement at a different time than any prescription medications listed in the interactions. If you have a history of kidney stones or heart disease, consult your doctor before use [NIH ODS].
