Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains Calcium, but the specific dosage of the ginseng ingredient is not available. For calcium, the data supports its role in bone health, but you should be cautious about exceeding recommended intakes due to potential risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in your blood or urine can cause poor muscle tone, kidney issues, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the exact ginseng dose. For calcium, be aware that it can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. Take calcium supplements separately from these medications [NIH ODS].
