Herbalife Liftoff Ignite-Me Orange

Our assessment

The evidence shows that Herbalife Liftoff Ignite-Me Orange contains calcium, which is essential for bone health, but the specific amount per serving is not listed in the data provided. Based on the available information, this product provides a mineral that supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular function [NIH ODS]. However, without a specific dosage per serving, we cannot confirm if it provides a meaningful amount toward your daily needs.

How it works

Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signal conductor for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density through mineralization and helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS]. These functions are critical for everyday movement and long-term skeletal health.

Safety profile

Data not available for this specific product — the FDA adverse event database contains 592,059 total reports across all supplements, but no specific report count is provided for Herbalife Liftoff Ignite-Me Orange. For calcium generally, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from excessive calcium include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

You should check the product label for the exact calcium content per serving. If you are taking any of the medications listed above, take this supplement at least two hours apart from your medication to avoid reduced absorption [NIH ODS]. For most adults, the goal is to get your calcium from food first, and only use supplements to fill gaps. Start with a low dose and monitor for any digestive discomfort. If you have a history of kidney stones or heart conditions, consult your doctor before using this product [NIH ODS].
