Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health, but it is not the primary ingredient in Herb Pharm Wormwood. Our assessment is that you should not rely on this product as a calcium source, as the data for calcium comes from a different supplement category [NIH ODS]. For the specific product you asked about, data on its primary ingredient is not available.
How it works
When considering calcium as a supplement, it supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your skeleton, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation by supporting proper nerve signaling and muscle function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend focusing on the specific ingredient in Herb Pharm Wormwood. Since data on that ingredient is not available here, consult your healthcare provider before use. If you need calcium, get it from food sources first and speak with your pharmacist about potential interactions with medications like bisphosphonates and tetracycline antibiotics [NIH ODS].
