Herb Pharm Spilanthes
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that while this product is labeled as Spilanthes, the only available ingredient data is for Calcium. For a general audience seeking bone and nerve health support, calcium is a well-researched mineral. However, it is critical to understand that we cannot assess the Spilanthes herb itself due to missing data. Our assessment is therefore limited to the calcium component of this product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a nerve messenger. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which helps keep your skeleton strong. Additionally, it supports muscle relaxation and proper nerve signaling, allowing your muscles to contract and relax smoothly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the Spilanthes herb itself. For the calcium component, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Because we lack specific dosing information for this product, we cannot recommend a starting dose. Consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if you take any of the listed medications.
