New Sun Ultra Enzyme
Brand: New Sun · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in New Sun Ultra Enzyme is likely calcium, based on the label. Our assessment: calcium is a well-studied mineral that supports bone health, but its role in enzyme support is data not available. The data confirms that calcium is essential for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a signal messenger. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for maintaining strong bones as you age. At the same time, calcium helps your muscles relax after contraction and supports nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific side effect counts for this product are data not available. Regarding calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
If you are taking this product for enzyme support, the data does not confirm its effectiveness for that purpose. For calcium needs, start by assessing your dietary intake. Be aware that calcium supplements can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Our recommendation: consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if you take any of these medications.
