Brand: NutriCology · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment is that NutriCology ProGreens with Advanced Probiotic Formula contains Calcium, a mineral with proven benefits for bone health. The evidence shows that calcium supports bone density and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, the data provided is limited to this single ingredient, and we cannot evaluate the formula as a whole based on the information given. You should be aware that this supplement is not a substitute for a balanced diet.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It works through bone mineralization to support density and mineral deposition [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium supports neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves function properly [NIH ODS]. These mechanisms are well-established in clinical science.
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. Safety data for calcium indicates that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium 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 is to consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any medications that interact with calcium. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label. For most adults, getting calcium from food sources is preferred. Data on the complete formula, including the probiotic blend, is not available, so we cannot make a definitive recommendation for this specific product.
