Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that NutriCology ProGreens with Advanced Probiotic Formula contains calcium, which is a key mineral for your health. However, the data we have is limited to this single ingredient, and we cannot evaluate the full formula. For calcium specifically, the data confirms it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. You should be aware that the label and full ingredient list are not provided, so we cannot assess the complete product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal messenger for your muscles and nerves. It works by supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. This makes it essential for maintaining strong bones and normal muscle function.
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for products in this category, though this number is not specific to this single product [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on side effects specific to this product is not available.

If you choose to take it, be aware of the potential risks from its calcium content, including interactions with medications [NIH ODS].
