Herb Pharm Motherwort
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Herb Pharm Motherwort contains calcium as an ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, you need to be aware of specific safety and interaction data before using this product. We cannot make claims about motherwort itself, as no specific data for that herb was provided [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium is a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should be cautious with this supplement if you take bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Data not available for motherwort-specific side effects or dosing. Consult your healthcare provider before use.
