Flora Udo's Choice Adult Enzyme Blend
Brand: Flora · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Flora Udo's Choice Adult Enzyme Blend contains Calcium, which is an essential mineral for bone health and nerve function. However, based on the data provided, we cannot recommend this product without significant caution. The data does not specify the exact calcium content per serving, which is critical for safe use. Our assessment is that you should verify the label dosage before purchasing, as calcium supplementation requires careful dosing to avoid risks.
How it works
Calcium works by supporting bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation. It helps your body build and maintain strong bones by depositing minerals into the bone matrix, and it plays a key role in allowing your muscles to relax and your nerves to signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine calcium levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to check the label for the exact calcium dosage per serving, as the data provided does not include this number. If you decide to use this product, take it at least two hours apart from any medications listed above. Do not exceed 2,000 mg of total calcium from all sources per day. If you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer, consult your doctor before use [NIH ODS].
