Our assessment
The evidence shows that Black Haw is not supported by the specific data provided. Based on the data available, the primary ingredient listed is Calcium, not Black Haw. For calcium, our assessment is that it plays a critical role in bone health, but you need to be careful about your total intake from all sources [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a messenger. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is essential for strong bones. It also helps your muscles relax and supports proper nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for Black Haw specifically. For calcium, FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. High calcium intakes from supplements might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, kidney problems, constipation, nausea, weight loss, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available to recommend Black Haw. For general calcium health, you should aim to get your calcium from food first. If you use a supplement, do not exceed the recommended intake and be aware of potential interactions with your medications [NIH ODS].
