Herbalife Liftoff Ignite-Me Orange
Brand: Herbalife · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Herbalife Liftoff Ignite-Me Orange contains calcium, a mineral with well-established benefits for bone health. However, the data does not provide a specific amount of calcium per serving, so you should check the product label for the exact dosage. Our assessment is that this product is primarily a source of calcium, but without the full ingredient list and amounts, we cannot evaluate its overall effectiveness or compare it to targeted calcium supplements [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your body. It supports bone mineralization, which helps maintain bone density, and it plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after activity [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, but specific report counts for this product are not available. Regarding calcium itself, very high intakes can lead to side effects including constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and poor kidney function [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. High calcium intakes might also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of certain medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking the product label for the exact calcium content per serving. If you are using this as your primary calcium source, compare the amount to the standard adult RDA of 1,000–1,200 mg per day. Be mindful of potential side effects from high total calcium intake and take calcium supplements separately from any medications listed above to avoid absorption issues. For a complete assessment, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider to review your total calcium intake from all sources [NIH ODS].
