Our assessment
The evidence shows that Herb Pharm Mistletoe is a product we cannot assess with the data provided. The data we have is for the mineral calcium, not for mistletoe. For calcium, our assessment is that it is a well-established mineral for bone health, but the specific effects of mistletoe are not covered in our data [NIH ODS].
How it works
For the ingredient calcium, think of it as a structural builder — it supports bone mineralization, helping deposit minerals into bone tissue for density and strength. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, aiding in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Data on how mistletoe specifically works is not available.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data]. For calcium, safety data shows that high intakes might 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 need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Side effects specific to mistletoe are not available.
Our recommendation
Because the data provided is for calcium, not mistletoe, we cannot make a confident recommendation for this specific product. For calcium, we recommend you get your levels checked before supplementing. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. For information on Herb Pharm Mistletoe, we must state: data not available.
