Our assessment
The evidence shows that Herb Pharm Cleavers is a product whose primary ingredient, based on the data provided, is Cleavers. However, the available safety and efficacy data applies to the mineral calcium, not to Cleavers itself. We cannot make a specific assessment of Cleavers based on this data. For calcium, our assessment is that it is essential for bone health, but supplementation requires careful attention to dosage and interactions.
How it works
For the mineral calcium, which is included in the data, its mechanism involves bone mineralization—supporting bone density and mineral deposition—as well as neuromuscular relaxation for proper muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the product Herb Pharm Cleavers, specific mechanisms of action are not available in the provided data.
Safety profile
Data not available for Herb Pharm Cleavers specifically. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, but no specific reports are listed for this product [FDA data]. For the related mineral calcium, side effects from high intake include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend Herb Pharm Cleavers based on the data provided, which does not contain specific information on its efficacy or safety. If you are considering a calcium supplement, take it with food and separate it from medications like thyroid hormone or antibiotics by at least two hours, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
