Brand: Anabolic Laboratories · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Anabolic Laboratories Chelated Iron 29 mg is a specific form of iron supplement. However, based on the data provided, the active ingredient in this product is not iron but calcium. Our assessment is that this product contains calcium, and we must evaluate it based on that fact. You should be aware that the label and ingredient information are not fully specified in the data we have.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural and signaling mineral. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific reports for this product are not available in the data. Regarding calcium itself, some research suggests that 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific recommendation on Anabolic Laboratories Chelated Iron 29 mg. Before taking this supplement, you should consult with your healthcare provider to confirm the actual ingredients and dosage, as the data provided indicates the ingredient is calcium, not iron. If you are taking bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, be aware that calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS].
