Integrative Therapeutics Learner's Edge
Brand: Integrative Therapeutics · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Integrative Therapeutics Learner’s Edge contains Calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. Our assessment is that this supplement may support your bone density and muscle relaxation, but you need to be very careful about the total calcium you consume from all sources, including food and other supplements [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your skeleton and nervous system. It supports bone mineralization, helping maintain bone density, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation, which allows your muscles to relax and your nerves to signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Safety data for this specific product is limited. FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. General calcium safety data shows that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements before adding this product. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific health profile before starting this supplement.
