Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product’s key ingredient, calcium, is well-studied for bone health, but the specific formulation of Herb Pharm Kids Lemon Balm Calm has limited data available to support its intended use for calming effects in children. We cannot confirm its effectiveness based solely on the provided data.
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into bone tissue, and it plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which aids muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, the data does not describe a specific mechanism for the lemon balm component in this product.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but data for this specific product is not available. For calcium specifically, side effects from very high intake can include 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 such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available to support a specific recommendation for this product. If you are considering it for your child, consult with your pediatrician first, especially if your child takes any medications that interact with calcium [NIH ODS].
