Our assessment
The evidence shows that for the product Herb Pharm Violet, the only active ingredient with available data is Calcium. Our assessment: you should be aware that calcium is a mineral primarily known for bone health, but it carries important risks and interactions that you need to consider before taking it [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through a process called bone mineralization. Additionally, calcium plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for adverse event reports specific to this product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. 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].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: do not take this supplement without first consulting your doctor. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Given the potential for serious side effects and drug interactions, you should get personalized advice from a healthcare provider before starting Herb Pharm Violet.
