Nature's Plus Ultra-Mins Multiple Mineral With Whole Foods
Brand: Nature's Plus · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nature's Plus Ultra-Mins Multiple Mineral With Whole Foods provides calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. However, the data specifically addresses the calcium component, and you should be aware of both its benefits and risks before adding it to your routine [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium supports your body as a master regulator for two key processes: bone mineralization, which helps build and maintain strong bone density, and neuromuscular relaxation, which supports proper muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available for side effect report counts specific to this product.
Our recommendation
Start by evaluating your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Be cautious if you take any of the medications listed, as calcium can interfere with their absorption. Discuss your use of this supplement with your healthcare provider to ensure it is appropriate for your individual health status [NIH ODS].
