Herbalife Liftoff Ignite-Me Orange
Brand: Herbalife · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Herbalife Liftoff Ignite-Me Orange contains calcium, a mineral that supports bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, the data for this specific product is very limited. We can only assess the calcium ingredient, and we must be clear that there is no specific efficacy data for this proprietary blend of ingredients.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural foundation for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density while also aiding in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. If you are using this supplement for energy or alertness, note that the caffeine content and other stimulants—not calcium—are likely responsible for those effects. Data on the complete formula is not available.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For the calcium ingredient, side effects from very high intakes include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. High calcium intakes might also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium can reduce absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. The data does not support relying on this product for any health benefit. If you choose to use it, take it separately from any medications you may be using. Because specific safety and efficacy data for this blend is missing, we recommend a more straightforward option with known dosing, such as a standard calcium supplement if you need one [NIH ODS].
