Herb Pharm Catnip
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that catnip is not a well-studied supplement for human health, and our assessment is that data on its specific benefits is not available. The product Herb Pharm Catnip contains the ingredient calcium, but the amount per serving is not specified on the label provided. For calcium, the data confirms it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, without knowing the dosage in this specific product, we cannot assess its effectiveness for you.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in nerve signaling. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and nerves communicate properly [NIH ODS]. There is no data available on how catnip itself works in the human body.
Safety profile
Based on FDA adverse event data, there were 592,059 total reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for catnip or this product are not provided. For the ingredient calcium, high intakes can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend that you do not rely on this product for a therapeutic effect due to a lack of specific data. If you are considering it for calcium, data not available on the dosage means you cannot know if you are meeting your needs. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take prescription medications [NIH ODS].
