Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nutri-West Zinc-S is a dietary supplement, and our assessment must focus on the ingredient data provided. Based on the available information, the product contains Calcium. Calcium is essential for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. We cannot make a specific assessment for the Zinc component as data for that ingredient is not available.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones and a signal regulator for your muscles and nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. If you are taking this product, it is providing calcium to support these functions. Data on how the Zinc component works is not available.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, though this number is not specific to this product. For calcium specifically, high levels 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]. Data on specific side effects or report counts for the Zinc component is not available.
Our recommendation
Before taking Nutri-West Zinc-S, you should carefully consider your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. Because calcium can interact with several medications, consult your doctor or pharmacist if you take any prescription drugs [NIH ODS]. We cannot provide a confident recommendation for the Zinc component as the necessary safety and efficacy data is not available. Your best course of action is to discuss your specific health needs with a healthcare provider.
