Herb Pharm Wild Cherry
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary ingredient in Herb Pharm Wild Cherry is not a vitamin or mineral with established dietary reference intakes. Data on the specific product is limited, but we can assess the safety of a common mineral often found in combination products: calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, you should be aware of its risks and interactions before using this or any supplement [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium is a critical mineral for your body. It functions in bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain bone density. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for proper muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. These roles make calcium vital for your skeletal and muscular systems.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels of calcium in your blood can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Data on side effects specific to Herb Pharm Wild Cherry is not available.
Our recommendation
We recommend that you do not use this supplement without first consulting your healthcare provider. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, certain antibiotics (tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones), levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Because the dosage of any calcium in this product is unlisted, you risk unintended interactions or excessive intake. Get your calcium levels and overall health assessed by a professional before use.
