Our assessment
The evidence shows that Eleuthero (also known as Siberian ginseng) is a traditional adaptogenic herb, but the data provided here focuses on Calcium, not Eleuthero. For the specific product you asked about, Herb Pharm Eleuthero, data on its mechanism, safety, and effectiveness is not available from the sources provided. We must rely on the ingredient data supplied, which is for Calcium [NIH ODS].
How it works
Based on the data for the ingredient Calcium, it acts as a master regulator for your bones and nerves. It supports bone mineralization to maintain density and helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood and 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 [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Because the data provided is for Calcium, not Eleuthero, we cannot make a specific recommendation for Herb Pharm Eleuthero. If you are considering a calcium supplement, be aware of the risks of high intake and potential interactions with medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
