Nutrition Now Vitamin E Adult Gummy Vitamins
Brand: Nutrition Now · Form: GUMMY [E0176] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nutrition Now Vitamin E Adult Gummy Vitamins contain calcium as an ingredient. For calcium, the data confirms it supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, we must be clear: specific data for this product’s vitamin E content is not available, so our assessment focuses on the calcium component found in the label.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your skeleton, and it assists neuromuscular relaxation by allowing your muscles to relax and your nerves to send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products in the database. For calcium specifically, high intakes might 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
If you take this gummy, be aware of your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. Check with your doctor if you take any of the medications listed above, as timing doses apart may be necessary. Data not available for the vitamin E component of this product, so consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance [NIH ODS].
