Our assessment
Our assessment: ProNutrients Probiotic is a general probiotic supplement. While the specific strain data is not provided, the included mineral calcium is well-supported for bone health. The evidence shows that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It works by supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a key role in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. Specific side effects for this product are not available. However, for the ingredient calcium, 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 [NIH ODS]. Some research also suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by getting your calcium from food sources first. If you need a supplement, choose one with a clear label and discuss the dose with your healthcare provider. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on specific probiotic strains in this product is not available.
