Our assessment
The evidence shows that Enzymatic Therapy Ultimate Iron contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data provided does not include specific information about the iron content or other ingredients in this product. For the calcium component, we can offer guidance based on the available data. You should be aware that calcium supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It works through bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals into your bone matrix for strength. Additionally, calcium plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, allowing your muscles to properly relax and your nerves to signal effectively [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from too much calcium include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Note that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on side effect report counts specific to this product is not available.
Our recommendation
Because the full ingredient list and dosages for Enzymatic Therapy Ultimate Iron are not provided, we cannot give a complete recommendation. For the calcium component, you should ensure you are not exceeding the Tolerable Upper Intake Level from all sources (diet and supplements). If you take any of the medications listed, separate your calcium supplement by at least 2 hours. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting this product, especially given the lack of complete data on its formulation [NIH ODS].
