Our assessment
The evidence shows that SimplySupplements Probiotic Max is a supplement, but the specific data you provided covers the mineral calcium, not probiotics. Based on the data available, we cannot assess the probiotic claims of this product. For calcium, our assessment is that it is a critical mineral for bone health, but you must be cautious with dosing. High calcium intakes from supplements might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signaling agent for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for SimplySupplements Probiotic Max specifically. For calcium, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but a breakdown for this specific product is not provided. Side effects of high calcium intake 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].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend SimplySupplements Probiotic Max based on the data provided, as no probiotic-specific information was supplied. If you are taking a calcium supplement, you should be aware that it can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Speak with your doctor before starting any new supplement.
