Our assessment
The evidence shows that Higher Nature SuperPhyte contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that this product can support your bone density and nerve function, but you must be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with calcium supplementation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, for calcium generally, FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels in the blood can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Check your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements before adding this product. If you take any of the listed medications, separate dosing by at least 2 hours. Consult your doctor to determine if this product is appropriate for you, especially if you have a history of kidney issues or heart disease [NIH ODS].
