Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium as an ingredient. For general bone health, calcium is a key mineral, but our assessment is that you should check the label carefully to see the exact amount per serving. Data not available on the specific ginseng blend’s efficacy from the provided sources.
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization by helping maintain bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, aiding muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because data on the specific ginseng content is not available, we cannot assess its benefits here. For calcium, we recommend you do not exceed the established daily intake limits without medical supervision. Be aware of the potential medication interactions listed above. Always consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting this supplement, especially if you take prescription medications or have a history of kidney stones or heart conditions [NIH ODS].
