Our assessment
The evidence shows that Renew Life Ultimate Flora Probiotic Gummies contain calcium, a mineral vital for bone health and nerve function. Our assessment is that this product may be a helpful addition to your routine if you need to support your calcium intake, but you must be aware of significant safety considerations and potential medication interactions.
How it works
Think of the calcium in this product as a structural building block for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves and muscles. It works by supporting bone mineralization and density, and it promotes neuromuscular relaxation and proper nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's side effects. However, the FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels in the blood can cause nausea, constipation, weight loss, extreme tiredness, 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
Do not take this product if you are currently on bisphosphonates, tetracycline or fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, due to reduced medication absorption [NIH ODS]. If you choose to use it, take calcium supplements at least two hours apart from these medications. Given the potential risks of high calcium intake, including heart disease, we recommend you speak with your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you have a history of kidney problems or heart conditions. Start with the lowest effective dose and monitor for any side effects like constipation or nausea [NIH ODS].
