Our assessment
The evidence shows that OLLY Quick Melt Probiotic Sticks Juicy Blueberry contains calcium as a key ingredient. For most adults, calcium is essential for bone health, but the data we have does not provide specific dosage information for this product. Our assessment is that while calcium is well-studied, you need to be aware of the potential risks associated with high intake, which are detailed below [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signaling agent for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and is critical for neuromuscular relaxation, allowing your muscles to relax properly after contracting [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, but specific data for this product is not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels in the blood can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, 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 the specific calcium dosage in this product. Before starting, you should check the label for exact calcium content. If you take any medications listed above, separate your supplement from those doses by at least 2 hours. We recommend you consult with your healthcare provider to determine if this product is right for you, especially given the potential risks of excessive calcium intake [NIH ODS].
