Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that Herb Pharm Eyebright is a supplement containing the mineral calcium. Calcium supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, we must be honest: the specific effects of "eyebright" as an herb are not supported by the data provided here. The only ingredient with documented data is calcium, and we cannot make any claims about the herbal extract itself based on this information.
How it works
Think of calcium as a master regulator for your bones and nerves. It supports bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals for strong bones, and assists in neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood or urine levels of calcium 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Data for the specific herbal effects of this product is not available. If you are taking this for calcium, be aware it can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We cannot recommend this product for any specific eye-related benefit based on the data provided. Consult your doctor before starting any new supplement.
