Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is a source of zinc, but our assessment is based on the data provided for calcium, not zinc. We cannot evaluate the specific benefits of zinc for you from this data. Data for the zinc ingredient itself is not available.
How it works
Based on the data provided, calcium works by supporting bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. It helps deposit minerals into your bone structure and supports proper nerve signaling and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The total number of adverse event reports for all supplements in the FDA database is 592,059 [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium 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].

Because the data provided does not include information on zinc dosing, benefits, or side effects, we cannot make a specific recommendation for this product. Data not available for the active ingredient. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
