Herb Pharm Albizia
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in this product is calcium, which is a mineral with strong data behind its role in bone health [NIH ODS]. However, this product is labeled as "Herb Pharm Albizia," and the available data only covers the ingredient calcium, not the herb Albizia itself. Our assessment is that you should understand the risks and benefits of calcium if it is present in this product, but we cannot make a claim about the Albizia herb based on the data provided.
How it works
Calcium works as a master regulator for your bones and nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the key building block for strong bones and a key messenger for your muscles to relax properly.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data]. For the ingredient calcium specifically, 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the specific Herb Pharm Albizia product. Because the data only covers the mineral calcium, we cannot provide a specific recommendation on this product. If you are taking calcium supplements, be aware of the potential interactions with medications listed above and speak with your doctor about your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and supplements [NIH ODS]. For the Albizia herb itself, the data is not available to guide a recommendation.
