Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, the data provided does not specify the exact amount of calcium in ProCaps Laboratories Ginkgo 120 Plus Ginseng 200. For general health, you should be aware of your total daily calcium intake from all sources, including food and supplements [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and proper nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the key that allows your muscles to relax and your nerves to communicate effectively.
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Signs of excessively high calcium levels in the blood 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]. You should also know that calcium can reduce the absorption of certain medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the specific calcium dosage in this product. Because high calcium intakes carry potential risks, you should not take this supplement without first evaluating your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements [NIH ODS]. If you take any of the listed medications, separate your doses by at least two hours or consult your pharmacist, as calcium can interfere with their absorption [NIH ODS].
