Renew Life Ultimate Flora RTS Daily Probiotic
Brand: Renew Life · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
Our assessment: The Renew Life Ultimate Flora RTS Daily Probiotic is a dietary supplement that contains calcium. The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health, but you need to be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with this ingredient [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, which is important for muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available on the number of adverse event reports specifically for this product. However, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements [FDA data]. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in your 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].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Before taking this probiotic, check your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider to ensure this supplement is safe for you, especially if you have a history of kidney problems or heart disease [NIH ODS].
