Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral that plays a specific role in bone health. However, the data on calcium supplementation is mixed regarding overall safety, so you should approach this supplement with caution. We recommend you first assess your dietary calcium intake before considering a supplement.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your skeletal system. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for maintaining strong bones. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling, helping your muscles relax properly after contracting [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for adverse event reports specific to this product. The FDA data provided includes a total of 592,059 reports across all supplements, but a breakdown for this product is not given. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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
Start by evaluating how much calcium you get from food. The data does not provide a specific dose for this product. Because of the potential risks linked to high calcium intake, including heart disease, you should only supplement if you are certain your diet is low in calcium and you have discussed it with your doctor. If you take any medications, be sure to separate your calcium dose by at least two hours to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
