Brand: Freeda · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: For general health, the data on calcium shows it is essential for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, the specific supplement you asked about is Freeda Easily Absorbed Iron 29 mg, which contains iron, not calcium. Data on the specific ingredient (iron) for this product is not available in the provided information. For calcium specifically, the data shows that while it supports bone density and nerve signaling, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a master regulator for your bones and muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it is critical for muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. The data does not provide details on how the iron in your specific product works, so that information is not available.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but no specific report count is provided for this product or iron. For calcium, safety data indicates that high levels 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]. High calcium intakes might also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the product you asked about is Freeda Easily Absorbed Iron 29 mg, and the only ingredient data provided is for calcium, I cannot make a specific recommendation for this iron supplement. For calcium, be aware that it can reduce the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. You should consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially one containing iron. Data not available for the specific benefits or risks of this iron product.
