Our assessment
The evidence shows that Allergy Research Group ProGreens contains Calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment: this product can support your bone and nerve health, but you need to be aware of the specific risks associated with calcium supplementation. The data provided does not include serving size or exact calcium content per dose, so we cannot calculate your total intake from this product alone.
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block and a signal messenger. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through bone mineralization, and it helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly through neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. These are essential daily functions that your body cannot perform without adequate calcium.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the label of Allergy Research Group ProGreens to confirm the exact calcium content per serving. If you already take other calcium supplements or eat a calcium-rich diet, be cautious about exceeding the recommended daily intake. Separate calcium supplements from the medications listed above by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider to review your total daily calcium intake from food and supplements.
