NutriCology ProGreens with Advanced Probiotic Formula
Brand: NutriCology · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that NutriCology ProGreens with Advanced Probiotic Formula contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Data not available on the specific amount of calcium per serving or other ingredients in this product. Our assessment is that while calcium is well-supported for bone mineralization, you should not rely on this product as your primary calcium source without more specific label information [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a master builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High calcium levels 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
You should consider a standard calcium supplement with a known dose rather than relying on this product. Calcium can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine, so take it at a separate time from those drugs [NIH ODS]. Always check the product label for exact ingredient amounts and consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
