How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and aids in neuromuscular relaxation, which allows your muscles to relax and your nerves to signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Before taking Higher Nature Paraclens, you should consult your healthcare provider, especially if you take any of the listed medications. Be cautious about your total calcium intake from all sources, as high levels carry serious risks [NIH ODS]. Data on specific dosage for this product is not available [See label].
