Brand: Natures Plus · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains 50 mg of manganese, but the critical data provided is for calcium, not manganese. Our assessment is straightforward: we cannot evaluate the specific claims for this manganese supplement because the data we have to work with is about a different mineral. For information on calcium, we can proceed, but for manganese specifically, the data is not available.
How it works
Based on the data provided, the ingredient calcium supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into bone density, and it supports neuromuscular relaxation by aiding muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the manganese in your supplement, the provided data does not include a mechanism of action.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all supplements in the database [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, side effects can include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. High calcium intakes might also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects for the manganese in this specific product are not available in the provided data.
Our recommendation
Without specific data on manganese, we cannot recommend this product for any use. If you are considering a supplement for bone health, the data shows calcium supports bone mineralization, but you should be aware of the potential side effects and drug interactions. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. For manganese-specific guidance, the data is not available.
