BIOVEA Zinc 15 mg
Brand: BIOVEA · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that BIOVEA Zinc 15 mg is a straightforward mineral supplement, but the data provided does not contain specific information about zinc itself. Our assessment is based on the ingredient data available, which is for calcium. Because the product label lists zinc, but the provided data covers calcium, we must rely on general principles. For zinc, data not available.
How it works
Based on the data provided for the ingredient calcium, it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. Think of calcium as a structural and signaling mineral that helps your bones stay dense and your muscles relax properly after contracting [NIH ODS]. Without specific data on zinc, we cannot describe its mechanism.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements in the database. For the ingredient calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High calcium levels 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 supplements can also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. For zinc-specific side effects, data not available.
Our recommendation
We recommend you verify the product label for exact ingredients and dosage instructions. For calcium, stick to the RDA and do not exceed 2,000 mg daily from all sources [NIH ODS]. Take calcium supplements separately from medications like thyroid hormone or antibiotics by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS]. For specific advice on zinc supplementation, consult your healthcare provider, as data not available for this mineral in the provided information.
