Brand: Bluebonnet · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the Bluebonnet Liquid Vitamin B12 & Folic Acid supplement provides a combination of nutrients, but the specific data provided focuses on calcium, not B12 or folic acid. For calcium, our assessment is that while it is essential for bone health, high intake from supplements carries notable risks that you should be aware of [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signal messenger. It supports bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals into your skeleton for density and strength. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, assisting with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. On the ingredient calcium, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for this specific product's ingredients. For calcium, you should be cautious with high-dose supplements, as they may interfere with medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
