Brand: Ormus Minerals · Form: SUPPLEMENT FORM, OTHER [E0172] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is marketed as Panax Red Ginseng Slices, but the only ingredient data provided is for calcium. Calcium is essential for bone health, but we cannot assess the ginseng component because data on it is not available. Our assessment is that you should be cautious, as the product's label is incomplete for a full clinical evaluation.
How it works
Based on the data provided, calcium supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your bone structure and supports neuromuscular relaxation for proper nerve signaling and muscle function [NIH ODS]. Without ingredient details for the ginseng, we cannot describe how the primary claimed ingredient works.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For the calcium component, 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 need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend this product for use as a ginseng supplement because data on the ginseng ingredient is not available. If you are taking calcium for bone health, discuss your total intake with a healthcare provider to avoid exceeding safe levels. Always check for potential interactions with your medications [NIH ODS].
