Our assessment
The evidence shows that Herb Pharm Khella contains the mineral calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for bone health, the specific benefits and risks of this product depend entirely on your individual calcium intake from all sources. We cannot confirm any unique benefits of Khella from the data provided [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. If you are already getting enough calcium from your diet, adding more from this product may not provide additional benefit.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all supplement products. The data for calcium specifically warns that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High calcium levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, 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 several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for specific dosing of Khella. We recommend you assess your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements before adding this product. If you take any medications, especially for thyroid conditions, osteoporosis, or infections, consult your pharmacist about potential interactions. Start with a low dose and monitor for any of the side effects listed above [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
