Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, which is a mineral with well-established benefits for bone health. However, the data provided does not include specific information on the efficacy, safety, or interactions of Tremella or American Ginseng. For the calcium component, our assessment is that it supports bone density and neuromuscular function, but you should be aware of potential risks at high intakes [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body’s structural and signaling systems. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain strong bones and teeth, and it aids in neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for proper muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Data on the mechanisms of Tremella and American Ginseng is not available.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for products in this category. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Given the lack of specific data on Tremella and American Ginseng, we cannot recommend this product for any specific health purpose. If you are using this for calcium, be cautious with dosing and monitor for side effects like nausea or constipation. Always check with your doctor before starting, especially if you take any of the medications that interact with calcium [NIH ODS]. For the other ingredients, data not available.
