Herb Pharm Horseradish
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that horseradish, as found in Herb Pharm Horseradish, is not directly supported by the data provided for its intended use. The data on hand covers the mineral calcium, not horseradish itself. Based strictly on the available information, we cannot confirm any specific benefits of this product for you. Data not available for horseradish-specific efficacy claims.
How it works
Since the only ingredient data provided is for calcium, we can explain how calcium functions in the body. Calcium acts as a master regulator for bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves transmit signals properly [NIH ODS]. For horseradish specifically, no mechanism of action data is available in this dataset.
Safety profile
For the overall supplement category, FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products [FDA data]. For the calcium component specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from high calcium levels 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]. No side effect reports specific to horseradish are available in this data.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to proceed with caution. Since the evidence does not cover horseradish's efficacy, and the data only addresses calcium, we advise you to consult with a healthcare provider before using this product. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Without specific data on horseradish, we cannot make a confident recommendation for its use.
