How it works
Calcium is a mineral that supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, aiding muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that 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
We cannot recommend this product for White Ginseng benefits because the data provided only covers calcium. If you are taking this for calcium, be aware of the potential side effects and medication interactions listed above. Consult your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you take any of the medications listed [NIH ODS].
