Brand: Renew Life · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Renew Life Ultimate Flora Kids Probiotic is a product containing calcium, but data on its specific probiotic strains and their effects is not available. For the calcium component, our assessment is that it supports bone health, but you need to be aware of dosage and potential risks. The specific benefits of the probiotic blend for children are not detailed in the provided data.
How it works
Calcium works in the body through two primary mechanisms: bone mineralization, where it supports bone density and mineral deposition, and neuromuscular relaxation, where it supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the probiotic component, specific mechanisms of action are not provided in the available data.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific reports for this product are not available. For the calcium ingredient, safety concerns include that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium 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
Our recommendation is to consult your child's pediatrician before starting this supplement, as the specific health benefits and safety data for the probiotic strains are not available. If you choose to use it, be mindful of your child's total calcium intake from all sources (food and supplements) to avoid exceeding safe levels. Monitor for any signs of digestive upset or allergic reaction, as specific side effect reports for this product are not provided in the data [FDA data].
