Integrative Therapeutics Testosterone Formula
Brand: Integrative Therapeutics · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the Integrative Therapeutics Testosterone Formula contains calcium, but we cannot confirm any specific benefit for testosterone support based on the data provided. Calcium is a mineral primarily known for bone health, not testosterone production [NIH ODS]. Our assessment is that you should not expect this product to significantly impact your testosterone levels based on the available information.
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. However, there is no data in the provided studies linking calcium to testosterone synthesis or male hormone regulation. If you are looking for a testosterone booster, this ingredient does not appear to align with that goal based on the data we have.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects of high calcium levels include 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 medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available on side effects specific to this product formulation.
Our recommendation
We recommend you do not rely on this product for testosterone support, as the data provided does not show any connection between calcium and testosterone levels. If you are considering this supplement, consult your healthcare provider first, especially if you take any of the medications listed above. For testosterone concerns, other evidence-based approaches should be discussed with your doctor. Data not available on a specific starting dose for this product.
