Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Herb Pharm Meadowsweet, based on the listed ingredient Calcium, has a well-documented role in bone health. However, specific data on meadowsweet itself is limited. Our assessment: you should understand the benefits and risks of the calcium content, which is the only data available for this product [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for this product category. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from excessively high blood calcium include 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the specific dose of meadowsweet. Therefore, we cannot recommend a specific dosage. If you are taking any medications, especially those listed in the interactions, consult your doctor before use. For general calcium intake, follow the RDA from food sources first [NIH ODS].
