AB American Biologics Ultra Osteo Synergy
Brand: AB American Biologics · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that AB American Biologics Ultra Osteo Synergy is formulated to support bone health primarily through its calcium content. Our assessment is that this supplement can be a useful tool for meeting your calcium needs, but you must be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with calcium supplementation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as the structural foundation for your bones. It works through two key mechanisms: first, it supports bone mineralization and density, which is the process of depositing minerals into your bone matrix. Second, it supports neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling, helping your muscles and nerves function properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific data for this product is not available. For calcium specifically, safety concerns include a potential increased risk of heart disease and prostate cancer with high intakes. High levels of calcium 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, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you only take this supplement if you have a confirmed need for additional calcium. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Take this supplement at least two hours apart from those medications. Start with the lowest effective dose and monitor for any side effects like constipation or nausea [NIH ODS].
