Avion Pharmaceuticals Prenate Chewable Chocolate
Brand: Avion Pharmaceuticals · Form: SUPPLEMENT FORM, OTHER [E0172] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Prenate Chewable Chocolate is a prenatal supplement providing calcium, a mineral essential for your baby's bone development and your own nerve and muscle function. Our assessment: this product can help you meet the increased calcium needs during pregnancy, but you must be aware of potential risks and interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your baby's skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is also critical for neuromuscular relaxation and proper nerve signaling in both you and your developing baby [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood calcium 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 several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Take this supplement as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If you take any prescription medications, especially antibiotics or thyroid medication, take them at a different time of day than this supplement. Data not available on the specific calcium dose per serving. Consult your doctor before starting any new supplement regimen [NIH ODS].
