Our assessment
The evidence shows that the Herb Pharm Professional Hawthorn Blend is a product for which we have limited specific data. The only ingredient information available is for its component, Calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is an essential mineral, this specific blend’s overall effects cannot be fully evaluated with the information provided. Data not available for the specific effects of this hawthorn blend itself.
How it works
Think of the calcium in this blend as a structural component for your body. It supports bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals into your bone matrix for density and strength. Calcium also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves communicate properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, but the specific report count for this blend is not available. For calcium specifically, 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 medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because we lack specific data on the hawthorn blend’s effects and dosage, we cannot make a confident recommendation for this product. If you are considering this supplement, consult your healthcare provider first, especially if you take any of the medications listed above or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease. Data not available for a specific dosage or usage guideline for this blend.
