Supreme Nutrition Products American Ginseng Supreme

Our assessment

The evidence shows that you are asking about a product named Supreme Nutrition Products American Ginseng Supreme. However, based on the data provided, the only ingredient with available information is calcium, not American ginseng. For calcium, our assessment is that it is a critical mineral for your bones and nerves, but you must be careful with the dosage to avoid serious side effects. Data on the specific product itself is not available.

How it works

Calcium acts as a master builder in your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through bone mineralization, and it also supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling through neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the key material for your skeleton and the regulator for your nervous system [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

Be aware that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from too much calcium include 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]. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but the number specific to this product is not available [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

Since the product label does not list the amount of calcium or American ginseng, we cannot make a specific dosage recommendation for Supreme Nutrition Products American Ginseng Supreme. If you are taking calcium supplements separately, work with your doctor to determine the right dose for you and have your blood calcium levels checked. Always take calcium at a different time from the medications listed above to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS]. For the American ginseng component, data is not available to provide guidance.
