Herb Pharm Healthy Menopause Tonic Compound
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health, but it comes with notable risks. Our assessment is that while calcium supports bone density and nerve signaling, the data also indicates potential serious side effects at high levels, including heart disease risk and kidney issues [NIH ODS]. You should be cautious with this supplement, especially if you take other medications.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain strong bones, and aids neuromuscular relaxation, which is important for muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This makes it a key mineral for overall structural and nervous system health.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific dose recommendation for this tonic. If you use this product, monitor your total calcium intake from all sources. Consult your doctor before starting, especially if you take prescription medications or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease [NIH ODS].
