Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for your health, but it comes with important safety considerations. For the product Herb Pharm Cinnamon, data on this specific supplement is not available. However, based on the ingredient calcium, our assessment is that you should be cautious about your total intake from all sources, including food and supplements [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a multitasker in your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA 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 your blood or urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by reviewing your total daily calcium intake from food and supplements. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. If you take any of these, separate them from calcium by at least two hours [NIH ODS].
