Higher Nature SuperPhyte
Brand: Higher Nature · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that Higher Nature SuperPhyte contains calcium, a mineral critical for bone health. You should be aware that while calcium supports bone density and nerve signaling, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural foundation for your bones and a signal conductor for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization and deposition, while also aiding in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high levels 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 [FDA data] [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: Start by assessing your dietary calcium intake before supplementing. If you take this product, be mindful of potential interactions with medications and monitor for side effects like constipation or nausea. Data on the specific dose in SuperPhyte is not available, so consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance [NIH ODS].
