Herb Pharm Celery
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Herb Pharm Celery, as listed, is calcium. Our assessment is that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health, but it is not a primary treatment for any condition. You should not expect this product to provide benefits beyond what you would get from a standard calcium supplement, and the data on calcium is mixed regarding its safety at high intakes [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is essential for maintaining strong skeletal structure. Additionally, calcium plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly after they contract [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Safety data is available for calcium, but specific adverse event report counts for this product are not available. The total FDA adverse event reports across all supplements is 592059 [FDA data]. For calcium, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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 product recommendation based on the provided information. Because calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, you should take this supplement at least two hours apart from any prescription medications [NIH ODS].
