Lee Haney's Nutritional Support Systems Parasite Detox

Our assessment

The evidence shows that based on the label, this product contains Calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for bone health, you should be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with supplementation. Data on the specific formulation of this product is limited, so we must rely on what is known about its listed ingredient.

How it works

Calcium plays a critical role in your body. It supports bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals into your bone matrix to maintain density and strength. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after contraction [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

Data not available for the specific product formulation. However, for the ingredient Calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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 [NIH ODS]. The FDA has received 592059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data].

Our recommendation

We recommend you do not take this supplement without first consulting your doctor. Because calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, you must discuss this with your healthcare provider if you take any of these [NIH ODS]. Focus on getting calcium from food sources first, and only supplement under medical guidance.
