BIOVEA Probiotic Complex
Brand: BIOVEA · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that BIOVEA Probiotic Complex contains calcium as an ingredient. Our assessment is that calcium is a well-researched mineral essential for bone health, but you should be aware of its specific safety profile and potential interactions before adding this supplement to your routine [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium plays a critical role in your body as a bone mineralization agent, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effects or report counts for BIOVEA Probiotic Complex or calcium alone from the FDA data provided. The FDA adverse event database contains a total of 592,059 reports across all products, but no specific breakdown for this ingredient is available. The NIH ODS notes that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and 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].
Our recommendation
Given that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications — including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin — you should take this supplement at a different time than those medications [NIH ODS]. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you have a history of kidney issues or heart disease.
