Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that while the product label for Herb Pharm Marshmallow is not available for review, the primary active ingredient we can evaluate is Calcium. Our assessment is that calcium is essential for your bone health and muscle function, but it must be used with careful attention to dosage and timing to avoid risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a builder and signaler in your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to keep your skeleton dense and strong. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available specifically for Herb Pharm Marshmallow. However, for the ingredient calcium, FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. High calcium levels can cause poor muscle tone, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [FDA data] [NIH ODS]. Some research also suggests high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to be cautious. Since calcium can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine, take this product at a different time than those drugs [NIH ODS]. Because we lack specific data on the Herb Pharm Marshmallow product itself, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting it, especially if you have a history of kidney issues or heart disease [NIH ODS].
