Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is a combination supplement, but the data provided only covers one of its listed ingredients: Calcium. For the Ginger and Glucanase Enzyme Complex components, specific data is not available. You should be aware that our analysis is limited to the Calcium content, which is present in the formula.
How it works
Calcium supports your bone density and mineral deposition, acting as a key structural component for your skeleton. It also plays a role in supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, safety data indicates that 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Because the data does not provide specific information on the Ginger and Glucanase Enzyme Complex ingredients in this formula, we cannot make a confident recommendation for the product as a whole. For the calcium component, be aware it can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. You should consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of those medications.
