New Chapter Organics Probiotic All-Flora
Brand: New Chapter Organics · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
Our assessment: This product contains calcium, a mineral with strong evidence for bone health. The data shows calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that high intakes may carry risks, and we have no specific safety data for this exact blend of ingredients in the New Chapter Organics Probiotic All-Flora product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a nerve communicator. It helps deposit minerals into your bone matrix to maintain density, and it also supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific reports for this product are not isolated in the data. For calcium specifically, high intakes can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Some research also suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Do not exceed the RDA for calcium unless directed by your physician. If you take any medications on the interaction list (such as thyroid hormone or antibiotics), separate calcium intake by at least 2 hours. For specific safety information on the probiotic strains in this product, data is not available. Start conservatively and monitor how you feel [NIH ODS].
