Our assessment
The evidence shows that Gaspari Nutrition MyoFusion Probiotic Series Cookies & Cream contains calcium, a mineral with well-documented benefits for bone health. However, the data provided does not specify the amount of calcium per serving or include clinical studies on this specific product. Our assessment is that while calcium is a key nutrient, you should evaluate this product based on the exact calcium content listed on the label, as the benefits and risks depend directly on the dose [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and strength. Additionally, it plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Check the product label for the exact calcium content per serving. If you already take a calcium supplement or consume dairy products, be cautious about your total daily intake. Monitor for side effects like constipation or nausea. If you take any prescription medications, particularly antibiotics or thyroid medication, take this supplement at least two hours apart from those drugs [NIH ODS]. Data not available on the specific probiotic strains in this formula, so we cannot comment on that benefit.
