Airborne Airborne + Probiotic Assorted Fruit Flavors
Brand: Airborne · Form: GUMMY [E0176] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Airborne + Probiotic is a combination product, but the only ingredient with sufficient data for analysis is calcium. Our assessment: calcium is essential for bone health, but you should be aware of its potential risks and interactions. Data on the other ingredients in this specific product is not available.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body's structure and function. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the building block for strong bones and the signal for your muscles to relax after they contract.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels can cause poor muscle tone, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Before taking this product, consider your total calcium intake from all sources. If you take medications like thyroid hormone or certain antibiotics, separate your calcium supplement by at least 2 hours. Monitor for side effects like constipation or nausea. Because data for the other ingredients in this product is not available, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider to see if this specific formulation is right for you.
