Overview
•Calcium carbonate 600 mg elemental and vitamin D3 500 IU are within safe daily limits (UL 2000-2500 mg calcium, 4000 IU vitamin D) for healthy adults, with low risk of hypercalcemia at these doses.
•Potential mild gastrointestinal side effects like constipation, gas, or bloating from calcium carbonate, especially if taken without adequate water or fiber.
•May interact with thiazide diuretics, digoxin, or antibiotics, potentially increasing hypercalcemia risk; consult healthcare provider if on medications.
•Not recommended for individuals with hypercalcemia, kidney stones, or severe renal impairment due to risk of elevated calcium levels.
•Safe for pregnancy at these doses if monitored, but consult doctor; vitamin D supports fetal bone development while calcium meets increased needs.
•Contains sunset yellow FCF, which may cause allergic reactions or hyperactivity in sensitive children; soy-derived oil poses allergy risk for soy-sensitive individuals.
