Airborne Plus Probiotic Assorted Fruit Flavors
Brand: Airborne Plus · Form: GUMMY [E0176]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Airborne Plus Probiotic is a combination product, but we only have data on one of its key ingredients: calcium. Based on the available information, the calcium content may support bone health, but you should be aware of important safety considerations and potential drug interactions. Data for the other ingredients in this product is not available.
How it works
Calcium plays a critical role in your body. It supports bone mineralization, which helps maintain bone density, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation, which supports proper muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a key structural component for your skeleton and a helper for your nervous system.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for products in this category. Regarding calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium 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].
Our recommendation
Before taking this supplement, check the calcium content on the label and consider your total daily intake from food and other supplements. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider to determine if this product is appropriate for you, especially if you take any of these medications.
