Renew Life Prenatal Probiotic
Brand: Renew Life · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in this product is calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. However, the current data does not provide a complete profile of every ingredient in this specific prenatal probiotic, so our analysis is limited to what is available [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your skeletal system by supporting bone mineralization and density. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from excessive calcium include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
You should be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of certain medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. Consult your healthcare provider before combining this product with those medications. Data on the specific probiotic strains is not available, so we cannot assess their effects or interactions [NIH ODS].
