Brand: Hero Nutritionals Yummi Bears · Form: GUMMY [E0176]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data does not provide specific dosage information for this gummy, making it impossible to confirm if it meets your daily needs. We cannot recommend this product without knowing the exact amount of calcium per serving [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain strong bone density. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for proper muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, based on the ingredient calcium, high intakes can cause constipation, nausea, and weight loss. Very high levels may lead to poor kidney function, abnormal heart rhythms, and an increased risk of death from heart disease. Some research also suggests a possible increased risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. There are 592,059 total adverse event reports in the FDA database for all supplements, but no specific count is available for this product [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend this gummy due to missing dosage data. If you choose to take it, be aware that calcium can interfere with medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine. You should separate calcium intake from these medications by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. For a reliable calcium source, consult your pharmacist or doctor for a product with a clear label.
