Our assessment
The evidence shows that Solaray Mycrobiome Probiotic contains calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, you need to be aware of the specific safety considerations tied to this mineral. The data indicates that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a builder and regulator for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through bone mineralization, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. For this probiotic product, the calcium content contributes to these foundational functions.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, though specific reports for this probiotic are not available. For calcium itself, high levels in your 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
Our recommendation is to be cautious with total calcium intake if you take this probiotic alongside other supplements. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available for specific dosing of this product, so consult your healthcare provider before starting.
