Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is not listed in the data provided. Our assessment is based on the ingredient Calcium, which is listed in the NIH ODS data for this product. Calcium is a well-studied mineral essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signal regulator. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, 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
Data not available for a specific recommendation on this product. For calcium, you should be mindful of your total intake from food and supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision, and be aware of potential interactions with your medications [NIH ODS].
