Our assessment
Our assessment: Herbalife Liftoff Lemon-Lime Blast contains calcium, a mineral well-documented for its role in bone health. However, the data shows that the safety of calcium supplementation depends heavily on your overall intake and health status. We advise you to be cautious about exceeding recommended levels, as high intakes carry significant risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signaler for your body. It supports bone density by aiding in mineral deposition, and it plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles and nerves communicate effectively [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all products in their database, but specific data for Herbalife Liftoff Lemon-Lime Blast is not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes can cause constipation, nausea, and extreme tiredness. More serious risks include high blood calcium levels, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease. Some research also suggests a possible link to heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Do not exceed the recommended daily allowance for calcium from all sources, including this product. Be aware that calcium can interfere with medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine. If you take any of these, consult your healthcare provider before using this product [NIH ODS].
