BariActiv Iron + Vitamin C Orange Flavor
Brand: BariActiv · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that BariActiv Iron + Vitamin C Orange Flavor is a combination supplement. However, based on the data provided, the primary ingredient with available information is Calcium, not Iron or Vitamin C. Our assessment is that this product may support bone health, but you should be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with calcium supplementation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium is a master regulator for your body’s structural and signaling systems. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and it plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, which aids in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all products in its database. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the specific Iron and Vitamin C content in this product. For calcium, you should be cautious if you take bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Discuss this supplement with your healthcare provider to ensure it is safe for your individual health needs.
