Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains Calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that while calcium is critical for your body, you must be careful with dosing to avoid risks. Data on the specific Herb Pharm Lavender product is limited, so we focus on the calcium ingredient [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as the building block for your bones and a regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the exact dosage of calcium in this specific product. We recommend you consult your healthcare provider before taking this supplement, especially if you take any prescription medications or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease.
