Allergy Research Group Homocysteine Plus with Setria Glutathione
Brand: Allergy Research Group · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Allergy Research Group Homocysteine Plus with Setria Glutathione contains calcium, a mineral that supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, the data on this specific product is limited. We cannot confirm its effectiveness for lowering homocysteine levels because that specific claim is not supported by the data provided. You should be aware that the product contains a mineral with known risks at high intakes.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body — it supports bone mineralization and helps with neuromuscular relaxation, which means it plays a role in both bone density and muscle signaling [NIH ODS]. The Setria Glutathione component is not described in the data provided, so its role is unclear.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but report counts specific to this product are not available. Data on calcium shows that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from high calcium levels include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start with a conversation with your healthcare provider before taking this supplement. The data does not provide a specific RDA or dosing recommendation for this product. You should be cautious because high calcium intakes carry known risks, including heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. If you take any medications listed above, take this supplement at a different time of day to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
