Our assessment
The evidence shows that Anabolic Laboratories Probiotic Complete contains calcium, a mineral with well-documented benefits for bone health. However, the data on this specific product is limited, and our assessment is based on the calcium ingredient listed on the label. For a general adult, calcium is essential, but you must be cautious about total intake from all sources [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body will leach it from your bones, which can weaken them over time.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, safety concerns include that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific daily dose from this product label. We recommend you check the label for the exact amount of calcium per serving and factor that into your total daily intake. Most adults need 1,000–1,200 mg of calcium daily from food and supplements combined. If you take any of the medications listed, separate your calcium dose by at least two hours [NIH ODS].
