Our assessment
Our assessment: For the specific product Nature's Plus Fruitein Banana Orange Creme, the only data available relates to its ingredient calcium. The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health, but the supplement facts for this product are not provided, so we cannot confirm the amount you would be getting per serving [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium plays a critical role in your body. It supports bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals into your bone matrix to maintain density and strength. It also aids in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after contraction [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a key building block for your skeleton and a calming signal for your nervous system.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood calcium levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, 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
Because the exact calcium content in Nature's Plus Fruitein Banana Orange Creme is not listed in the provided data, we cannot make a specific dosing recommendation. If you are using this product for its calcium content, check the label carefully. For general calcium needs, data not available on the specific amount in this product. Always separate calcium supplements from medications like thyroid hormone or antibiotics by at least 2 hours to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
