Integrative Therapeutics Zinc-Carnosine
Brand: Integrative Therapeutics · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, we cannot make a specific assessment for "Zinc-Carnosine" because the data provided only covers calcium as an ingredient. For calcium, our assessment is that it supports bone mineralization and nerve signaling, but you must be cautious about intake levels [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It works through bone mineralization, helping deposit minerals to maintain bone density. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, which is important for proper muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the provided data does not include specific dosage information for zinc-carnosine, we cannot give a precise recommendation. For calcium, be mindful not to exceed recommended levels and speak with your doctor if you take bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Data not available for zinc-carnosine-specific guidance.
