Our assessment
The evidence shows that for a product like Get Real Nutrition Real Probiotic Fit, the primary active ingredient based on available data is Calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for bone health, you should be aware of the safety considerations and potential for adverse events before adding this supplement to your routine [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium plays a critical role in your body as a master regulator for bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, aiding in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effect report counts for this product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements in its database [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium 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 several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Given the potential for adverse effects at high intakes and medication interactions, we recommend you consult with your healthcare provider before starting this supplement. They can help you determine if calcium supplementation is appropriate for you and at what dose, especially if you take any prescription medications [NIH ODS].
