PubMed indexes 8 records that name Calcium and Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.
Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.
This page lists published research relevant to Calcium and Galactooligosaccharides (GOS). It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.
Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.
Names both Calcium and Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) in its title.
“Under the present experimental conditions, GOS/FOS® mixture induced colonic positive effects, which increased Ca, P and Mg absorption. Thus, consuming the prebiotic-containing diet resulted in an extra amount of minerals that improved bone development in growing rats recovering from protein malnutrition.”
Names both Calcium and Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) in its title.
“Supplementing diets with the GOS/FOS(®) mixture increased bone mineralization, density and structure due to an increase in Ca, P and Mg absorptions. Thus, this prebiotic mixture may help to improve bone development in a period of high calcium requirements.”
Names both Calcium and Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) in its title.
“The ingestion of galactooligosaccharides prevents osteopenia in partially gastrectomized rats.”
Names both Calcium and Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) in its title.
“The calcium content in the liquid phase of the cecal lumen and the liquid phase weight were also increased by the injection of TOS into the cecum. Although the extent of calcium absorption from the cecum of rats fed TOS is due to overall calcium absorption is not known, under the experimental conditions used in the present study the stimulatory effect of TOS on calcium absorption may be partly associated with increased solubility of calcium and the fluid content in the…”
Names both Calcium and Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) in its title.
Names both Calcium and Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) in its title.
Names Calcium and Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.
“None of the differences between treatments was significant. It is concluded that 15 g/d inulin, fructooligosaccharide, or galactooligosaccharide did not have a negative effect on iron and calcium absorption in young healthy men.”
Names Calcium and Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.
Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:
NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Calcium, Galactooligosaccharides (GOS), and several hundred other substances.
The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
