1 Body Probiotic 30 Billion CFU

Our assessment

Our assessment: The evidence shows that Body Probiotic 30 Billion CFU is a supplement intended to support digestive health. However, based on the data provided, there are no specific studies or clinical trials available for this product. We must rely on general supplement safety and ingredient information. The data indicates that the product contains calcium, a mineral known for supporting bone health and muscle function [NIH ODS].

How it works

Think of calcium as a building block for your bones and a signal transmitter for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for proper muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

Our recommendation: Data not available for this specific probiotic product. Before starting any new supplement, especially one containing calcium, you should talk with your doctor. If you take any medications listed above, be aware that calcium may interfere with their absorption [NIH ODS]. Start with a low dose and monitor how you feel. Always choose products from reputable brands that follow good manufacturing practices.
