Quantum Health Thera Zinc Elderberry Lozenges Natural Raspberry Flavor
Brand: Quantum Health · Form: LOZENGE [E0174]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Quantum Health Thera Zinc Elderberry Lozenges are a combination product, but the specific data we have relates to the mineral calcium, not zinc or elderberry. For calcium, the data confirms it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, because this product’s active ingredients differ from the data provided, we cannot assess the lozenges directly based on the information available.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder — it supports bone density through mineral deposition and helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. For this lozenge product, data on how zinc or elderberry work is not provided.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific reports for this product are not available. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels 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 bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the specific zinc and elderberry ingredients in this lozenge. For calcium supplements, check with your doctor before taking, especially if you take medications for thyroid conditions, osteoporosis, or infections [NIH ODS]. Start with a low dose and monitor for side effects like constipation or nausea [NIH ODS].
