Herb Pharm Hops
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that for the product Herb Pharm Hops, the primary active ingredient with available data is Calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for bone health, the data provided does not allow us to evaluate the specific benefits or risks of this hops product alone, as no data on hops itself was supplied. For calcium, the data confirms it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it plays a key role in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on side effects specifically for this Herb Pharm Hops product are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you consult your healthcare provider before using this product, as no specific data on hops is available to evaluate its efficacy or safety. If you are taking calcium from any source, be mindful of your total intake from supplements and food, and take calcium supplements separately from medications like thyroid hormone or certain antibiotics to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
