Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. However, the data for Herb Pharm Lobelia is limited, and the primary ingredient information we have relates to calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is beneficial, you should be aware of its potential risks and interactions before using any supplement containing it [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and is crucial for neuromuscular relaxation, which allows your muscles to relax and your nerves to signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for Herb Pharm Lobelia specifically. However, the FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all dietary supplements. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because specific data for Herb Pharm Lobelia is not available, we cannot recommend this product for any particular use. If you are considering a calcium supplement, speak with your doctor first to determine the right dosage for you and to check for potential interactions with any medications you take [NIH ODS].
