Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, we must be clear that data on the complete ingredient profile of Garden of Life Super Seed Beyond Fiber is limited, and we can only assess the known ingredient, calcium. For calcium, the data supports its role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular function [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton and a signal regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density by aiding in mineral deposition and helps your muscles relax and nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
For calcium, the safety data shows potential risks at high intakes. Some research suggests that very high calcium intake might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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 urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. There were 592,059 total adverse event reports to the FDA for all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
