What Are the Side Effects of Thorne Calcium by Thorne?
Always consult your health practitioner if in doubt.
RiskLow Risk
Overview
•Hypercalcaemia or hypercalciuria: raises calcium levels further and elevates risk of vascular or soft tissue calcification
•History of calcium-containing kidney stones: additional calcium supplementation may increase recurrence risk without specialist guidance
•Take 4 hours apart from levothyroxine, as supplemental calcium binds thyroid hormone and significantly impairs its absorption.
•Stop and get advice if: persistent severe nausea, vomiting, confusion, or extreme muscle weakness suggesting acute hypercalcaemia
•Stop and get advice if: sudden, severe flank or back pain indicative of kidney stone formation
