Our assessment
The evidence shows that the Herb Pharm Skullcap product is not supported by the data provided. The only ingredient data available is for Calcium, not Skullcap. Our assessment is that you cannot rely on this data to make any meaningful health claims about this specific product. The information here pertains to a different ingredient entirely.
How it works
Based on the data provided, the mechanism of action applies to Calcium, not Skullcap. Calcium supports bone mineralization by helping maintain bone density and mineral deposition, and it is also involved in neuromuscular relaxation, aiding muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Data on how Skullcap itself works is not available.
Safety profile
Data not available for Skullcap specifically. The FDA adverse event database contains 592,059 total reports across all supplements, but no reports are specifically linked to Skullcap in the data provided [FDA data]. For the ingredient Calcium, side effects from high intakes include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend this product based on the data provided. The information available is exclusively about Calcium, and there is no evidence or safety data for Skullcap from this dataset. Before using any supplement, always consult with your healthcare provider. For reliable information on Skullcap, you will need to seek data from other sources, as it is not available here.
