ProCaps Laboratories Gamma Vitamin E
Brand: ProCaps Laboratories · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary ingredient in ProCaps Laboratories Gamma Vitamin E is calcium, not vitamin E. Based on the data provided, this product appears to be a calcium supplement. For bone health and nerve function, calcium is well-supported, but you should be aware of the specific safety considerations and medication interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density through bone mineralization and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. This makes it essential for daily function and long-term skeletal strength.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from high calcium levels include 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
If you are taking this product for calcium, be cautious with your total daily intake from all sources. Calcium can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Take this supplement at least two hours apart from those medications. Data not available for exact dosage of this product, so consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
