Michael's Naturopathic Programs Testosterone Factors

Our assessment

The evidence shows that Michael's Naturopathic Programs Testosterone Factors contains Calcium, a mineral essential for bone density and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, there is no data in the provided information to support a direct effect on testosterone levels. The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific reports for this product are not available [FDA data].

How it works

Calcium plays a critical role in your body as a master regulator for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation. It supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling, which are important for overall physical function [NIH ODS]. Data not available for other mechanisms specific to testosterone support.

Safety profile

High calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Side effect report counts specific to this product are not available from the provided data [FDA data].

Our recommendation

You should speak with your healthcare provider before using this supplement, especially if you take any prescription medications. Because the data does not show a direct link to testosterone support, you should not rely on this product for that purpose. Focus on getting calcium from food sources and check with your doctor about your individual needs [NIH ODS].
