Promend Daily Immune Probiotic
Brand: Promend · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Promend Daily Immune Probiotic contains calcium, a mineral with well-documented benefits for bone health. However, our assessment is that you should approach this product with caution, as the data provided does not include any information on probiotics themselves, the specific bacterial strains, or their immune-supporting effects. The only ingredient we can evaluate is calcium, and the data on that is incomplete.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for proper muscle and nerve function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though a specific count for this product is not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the probiotic components of this supplement. Because the evidence provided does not include information on the probiotic strains or their specific immune benefits, we cannot recommend this product for immune support based on the data at hand. If you are considering this supplement, consult your healthcare provider to discuss whether calcium supplementation is appropriate for you, especially if you take any medications that interact with calcium [NIH ODS].
