Our assessment
The evidence shows that Standard Process B6-Niacinamide contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. However, the data provided does not include specific studies, efficacy data, or detailed ingredient amounts for this product itself. Our assessment is that while calcium is a well-recognized nutrient, we cannot verify the specific benefits of this formulation based solely on the data provided [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key signaler for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization, helping maintain bone density, and it aids in neuromuscular relaxation, which allows your muscles to relax and your nerves to send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. Regarding calcium, data shows that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels in the blood 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
Without specific data on the B6-Niacinamide content or studies on this product, we cannot make a confident recommendation. You should consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS].
