Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, you should be aware of the potential risks associated with high calcium intake. Data not available on the specific dosage in this product.
How it works
Calcium supports your body through two key mechanisms. First, it is critical for bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain bone density. Second, it aids in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting proper muscle and nerve function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, very high levels in your 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS]. Some research also suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should be cautious with this supplement. Check the label for the exact calcium dosage per serving. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your pharmacist or doctor before adding this to your routine.
