Quicksilver Scientific Immune Charge+ Zinc Ionophore
Brand: Quicksilver Scientific · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Quicksilver Scientific Immune Charge+ Zinc Ionophore contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. However, the data does not include specific information on the other active ingredients, such as zinc or ionophores, which are central to the product's immune support claims. Our assessment is that while calcium is a well-studied nutrient, the product's overall efficacy for immune support cannot be fully evaluated based on the available data [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural and signaling powerhouse. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation by aiding muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the product's intended immune support function, the data does not provide a mechanism for zinc or ionophores, so we cannot explain how they work in this formula.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for products in this category, though this number is not specific to this exact supplement [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Symptoms of excessive calcium include poor muscle tone, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend caution. Since the data does not provide specific details on the zinc or ionophore content, we cannot confirm the product's safety or effectiveness for immune support. If you choose to use this supplement, be aware of the calcium-related risks and potential medication interactions. For immune health, consult with your healthcare provider to identify a product with complete and transparent ingredient data.
