Advanced Naturals Total Body Rapid Detox Part 2
Brand: Advanced Naturals · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Advanced Naturals Total Body Rapid Detox Part 2 contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. While calcium is a critical nutrient, the data does not support the product's "rapid detox" claim, and you should be aware of the potential risks associated with calcium supplementation. Our assessment is that this product is best used under professional guidance to ensure you are not exceeding your daily calcium needs.
How it works
Think of calcium as a master builder and messenger for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through a process called bone mineralization, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. This product is designed to provide a concentrated source of this mineral.
Safety profile
The data shows a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, 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]. You should be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Do not take this product without first reviewing your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Because of the serious risks linked to high calcium levels, you should consult your doctor or a pharmacist to check if this supplement is appropriate for you, especially if you take any medications. Start by meeting your calcium needs through food sources, and use supplements only to fill a verified gap [NIH ODS].
