AdvoCare Probiotic FastMelt Berry
Brand: AdvoCare · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that AdvoCare Probiotic FastMelt Berry is a dietary supplement, but the specific ingredient data provided is for calcium, not the probiotic itself. For calcium, the data indicates it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, without specific data on the probiotic ingredients, we cannot make a full assessment of this product's intended benefits.
How it works
Based on the provided data, the ingredient calcium acts as a master regulator for bone density and mineral deposition, as well as supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the probiotic components of this product, specific mechanisms are not available in the provided data.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from high calcium levels include 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Based on the available data, we cannot recommend AdvoCare Probiotic FastMelt Berry specifically, as the provided ingredient information focuses on calcium rather than probiotic strains. For calcium supplementation, you should be aware of the potential risks and medication interactions listed above [NIH ODS]. For specific guidance on this probiotic product, data is not available.
