Country Life Flex-Able Advanced
Brand: Country Life · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Country Life Flex-Able Advanced contains calcium, a mineral that supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, the product label lists only "Calcium" as an ingredient, and data on the other components of this specific formula is not available. Our assessment is that while calcium is a well-studied nutrient, you need to evaluate this product carefully given the lack of complete ingredient information.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones and a regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization, which helps maintain bone density, and it assists with neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium 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 the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
