Our assessment
The evidence shows that cleavers herb is not supported by the specific data provided. The only ingredient data available is for calcium, not cleavers. Therefore, we cannot make a reliable assessment of the product's effectiveness based on the information at hand.
How it works
If you are taking this product for its calcium content, think of calcium as a mineral regulator — it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, no specific mechanism data is available for cleavers herb itself.
Safety profile
Data not available for cleavers herb. For calcium, the FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. Side effects from high calcium intake include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [FDA data] [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Without specific data on cleavers herb, we cannot recommend this product for any particular health goal. If you are taking it for calcium, be aware that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and you should monitor your total calcium intake from all sources [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
