Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains Calcium, which plays a key role in bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, we cannot confirm the specific amount of Calcium in each serving of Herb Pharm Artemisia Annua, as that data is not available. For a general audience, Calcium is a well-studied mineral, but its benefits depend entirely on the dose you actually consume.
How it works
Think of Calcium as a structural building block and a signaling molecule. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your skeleton, and it assists in neuromuscular relaxation to keep your muscles and nerves communicating properly [NIH ODS]. Without adequate Calcium, your body may leach it from your bones, weakening them over time.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. Based on the ingredient data, high Calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from excessive levels include 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 medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the product label for the exact Calcium content per serving. If you are taking any prescription medications, especially antibiotics or thyroid medication, take this product at least two hours apart from those drugs [NIH ODS]. Stick to the recommended daily intake of 1,000–1,200 mg from all sources combined, and do not exceed that without medical supervision [NIH ODS].
