Our assessment
The evidence shows that Premier Research Labs Premier B6 Ultra is a supplement containing calcium, which is essential for bone health. However, the data provided is incomplete for a full evaluation. We cannot confirm the exact dosage of calcium or any other ingredients in this specific product, as the label information is listed as "See label" and the brand is also listed as "See label" [Data provided]. Based on the calcium data available, this mineral plays a critical role in your body, but it must be taken with caution.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is crucial for maintaining strong bones as you age [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium is vital for neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after contraction [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body may begin to leach it from your bones, weakening them over time.
Safety profile
Safety data for this specific product is not available. However, for calcium in general, high intakes carry significant risks. Some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Extremely high levels of calcium 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]. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific reports for this product are not provided [FDA data]. 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 this product's dosage. Before taking Premier B6 Ultra, you should verify the exact calcium content from the product label. If you are taking any medications, especially antibiotics or thyroid medication, be aware of the potential for reduced absorption and take calcium at a different time of day [NIH ODS]. We recommend consulting your physician to assess your dietary calcium intake and determine if a supplement is necessary, as getting calcium from food is generally safer and more effective.
