Luvos Mineral Earth

Our assessment
The evidence shows that Luvos Mineral Earth provides calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that this supplement can support your daily calcium intake, but you should be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with calcium supplementation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is crucial for neuromuscular relaxation and proper nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body will pull it from your bones, which can weaken them over time.
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effects of this product. FDA has received 592059 total adverse event reports for all products in this category. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you take Luvos Mineral Earth, be mindful of your total calcium intake from all sources. Do not exceed the Tolerable Upper Intake Level without medical supervision. Take calcium supplements separately from any medications listed in the interactions section to ensure proper absorption [NIH ODS].
