American Health More Than A Greens Nutritional Powder With Advanced Probiotics
Brand: American Health · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that American Health More Than A Greens Nutritional Powder contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment: this product can contribute to your daily calcium intake, but you must be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with this ingredient [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all products. Specific to calcium, some research suggests that 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].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total calcium intake from all sources. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Because data on the exact amount of calcium per serving is not available, we cannot provide a specific dosage recommendation. Consult your healthcare provider before use.
