Herb Pharm Asian Ginseng
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is labeled as Asian Ginseng, but the detailed data provided is for the ingredient Calcium. Data not available for Asian Ginseng itself. For the ingredient listed in the data, our assessment is that calcium is essential for bone health, but supplementation requires careful attention to dosing and potential risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
You should be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. Because the data provided is for calcium rather than Asian Ginseng, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before taking this product to confirm its ingredients and appropriate dosing for your individual health needs. Data not available for the specific effects of Asian Ginseng.
