Guru Guru Lite 2.0
Brand: Guru · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Guru Guru Lite 2.0 contains calcium as its primary active ingredient. Our assessment is that calcium is a well-studied mineral for bone health, but you should be aware that high intakes carry specific risks. The data does not provide a specific dosage for this product, so you should check the label carefully [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones and nerves. It supports bone density through mineralization and also helps your muscles relax and your nerves transmit signals properly [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the raw material your body uses to keep your skeleton strong and your nervous system running smoothly.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from very high levels include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the label of Guru Guru Lite 2.0 for the exact calcium dosage per serving. If you take calcium supplements, be aware they can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Start with the lowest effective dose and consult your healthcare provider, especially if you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or take prescription medications [NIH ODS].
