However, the data does provide information on one mineral that may be present in some supplements: Calcium [NIH ODS].
How it works
If this product contains calcium, it would work by supporting bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. For digestive enzymes, the specific mechanisms are not described in the provided data. You should check the product label for the specific enzyme types and their intended functions.
Safety profile
Data not available for the enzyme blend specifically. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but a specific count for this product is not available [FDA data].
