Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, for a general audience seeking evidence-based information, we must be clear: the data provided is for the ingredient calcium, not specifically for Herb Pharm Lemon Balm. Based on the data, calcium supports bone density and neuromuscular function [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain strong bone density, and it assists in neuromuscular relaxation, which allows your muscles to relax and your nerves to transmit signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, 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 the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific recommendation on Herb Pharm Lemon Balm. Based on the calcium data, you should be cautious about total calcium intake from all sources. If you take calcium, monitor your levels and discuss with your doctor, especially if you take any of the listed medications. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting a new supplement [NIH ODS].
