AB American Biologics Ultra Brain Power
Brand: AB American Biologics · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that AB American Biologics Ultra Brain Power contains Calcium, a mineral best known for bone health. However, the data does not support a direct role for this ingredient in "brain power" or cognitive function. Our assessment: this product's name implies benefits that are not backed by the specific data provided for its listed ingredient.
How it works
Calcium is essential for your body, but its role is primarily structural and regulatory. Think of it as a key mineral for bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. These functions are critical for overall health, but they are not specific to brain function or cognitive enhancement.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific reports for this product are not listed. For the ingredient Calcium, safety concerns include that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Additionally, Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We do not recommend AB American Biologics Ultra Brain Power for cognitive support based on the provided data. The sole listed ingredient, Calcium, does not have evidence of improving brain function. If you are considering a supplement for memory or focus, look for ingredients with direct clinical support. Always consult your doctor before starting any new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications that may interact with calcium [NIH ODS].
