Brand: Foods Plus · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Foods Plus Vitamin B6 100 mg is a straightforward single-ingredient supplement. However, our assessment must focus on the data provided for the ingredient Calcium, as that is the only ingredient with detailed information in the data set. For this product, specific data on Vitamin B6 is not available, so we are unable to evaluate its benefits or risks.
How it works
Based on the data, Calcium supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into bone tissue, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation by supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. You would take this to support bone density and proper muscle function.
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements in this database [FDA data]. For Calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available for Vitamin B6 specific to this product. For general calcium intake, you should be cautious about taking high-dose supplements without medical supervision due to the risks of heart disease and kidney issues. Always check with your doctor before adding this supplement, especially if you take prescription medications [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
