Herb Pharm Red Raspberry
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that while red raspberry leaf is a traditional herb, the specific product Herb Pharm Red Raspberry lacks direct clinical study data in the provided materials. The primary data available relates to the ingredient calcium, which is a key mineral found in red raspberry leaf.
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization by helping maintain bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. These mechanisms are foundational for overall health, particularly for bone strength and muscle function.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but no specific report count is provided for this product. For calcium, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine calcium levels 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 absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by understanding your dietary calcium needs before using this product as a source. You should take it at least two hours apart from any medications listed in the interactions. For specific guidance on red raspberry leaf for pregnancy or menstrual health, consult your healthcare provider, as data on this specific product is not available.
