Brand: Protocol For Life Balance · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Protocol For Life Balance Omega-7 contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health, but the data we have is incomplete. Our assessment is that you should not take this supplement without first understanding that the specific ingredient information provided is limited to calcium. The data does not list the amount of calcium per serving or any other ingredients, which is a critical gap [Data not available].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It works through bone mineralization, which supports bone density and the deposition of minerals into your bone matrix [NIH ODS]. Calcium also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very 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
We cannot recommend Protocol For Life Balance Omega-7 based on the data provided. The ingredient list is incomplete, and the amount of calcium per serving is not stated. Without this information, you cannot assess if this product meets your needs or poses a risk of excessive intake. If you are considering a calcium supplement, choose a product with a clearly labeled dose and consult your healthcare provider to determine your individual needs [NIH ODS].
