Higher Nature SuperPhyte
Brand: Higher Nature · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Higher Nature SuperPhyte contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, the data does not provide specific dosage information for this product, so we must rely on general guidance for calcium supplementation. You should approach this supplement with caution, as calcium intake from all sources needs careful management to avoid potential risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a key structural component for your bones and teeth. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and proper nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of calcium as the building block that keeps your skeleton strong and your muscles able to relax after contraction [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific report counts for this product are not available. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high blood levels of calcium 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
Data not available on the exact calcium dose in this product. Before taking SuperPhyte, check your total daily calcium intake from food and any other supplements. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to see if you need additional calcium and to review any medications you take for potential interactions [NIH ODS].
