Herb Pharm Rosemary
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Rosemary extract, as found in Herb Pharm Rosemary, is a popular herbal supplement, but the specific data provided focuses on the ingredient Calcium, not Rosemary. Based on the available data, we cannot assess the benefits or risks of Rosemary itself. For Calcium, a common supplement, our assessment is that it plays a key role in bone health, but you must be careful with dosing due to potential risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signaling molecule for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals correctly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for Rosemary specifically. For Calcium, the data shows that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in your 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]. The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though this number is not specific to Rosemary or Calcium alone [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Since the data does not cover Rosemary, we cannot make a recommendation for Herb Pharm Rosemary. For Calcium, start with food sources first and only supplement if your doctor confirms a need. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement.
