Restrictions

Drug Interactions: Calcium and magnesium can interfere with tetracycline antibiotics and calcium channel blockers. Thiazide diuretics can cause extremely high (potentially toxic) levels of calcium in the body. Magnesium can increase levels of diuretics in the body.

Nutrient Depletions: Excess calcium and zinc can impair the absorption of the mineral iron. Do not take this supplement at the same time as iron. Calcium and/or magnesium and/or zinc may interact with or be depleted by ACE inhibitors, anti-osteoporotics, anti-arthritics, anti-gout medications, anti-fungals, anti-malarial drugs, anti-tuberculosis drugs, anti-convulsants, anti-hypertensives, anti-pyretics, biguanides, bronchodilators, cholesterol reducing medications, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, oral contraceptives, salicylates, sulfonylureas, and sulfonamides. Foods high in phosphorus (animal protein and soft drinks) promote urinary loss of calcium. High consumption of caffeine, and excess dietary fat and fibre can inhibit calcium absorption.

Supportive Interactions: Vitamin D enhances calcium absorption. Ensure that you are getting at least 400 IU of vitamin D each day for optimal calcium absorption. Garlic supplements along with calcium may help reduce high blood pressure.

Warnings and Precautions: Some people may experience diarrhea. Zinc supplementation can cause a copper deficiency.

Toxicity: Adverse Warnings and Side Effects: Calcium carbonate may cause symptoms of gas, bloating, or constipation. If this occurs, switch to calcium citrate. Do not exceed recommended dosage. Excess calcium can contribute to the development of kidneys stones, and may cause calcium deposits in the body. Excess zinc can impair the immune system, increasing susceptibility to infection, and inhibit copper absorption, which could lead to anemia. If you experience abdominal pain, appetite loss, diarrhea, irregular heartbeat, mood or mental changes, nausea, tiredness, weakness, discomfort urinating, or vomiting, discontinue use and contact a physician.
