Our assessment: The evidence shows that Herbalist & Alchemist H&A Eleuthero is a product for which we have very limited data. The primary ingredient with available information is calcium, which is listed as a mineral on the label. For this specific eleuthero product, the evidence is insufficient to make a strong health claim, and we must rely on the data for its listed ingredient, calcium.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for maintaining strong bones [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, safety data indicates that 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]. Some research also suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation

If you are taking this product for its calcium content, be aware of the potential side effects and medication interactions. We recommend you consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications or have a history of kidney or heart conditions [NIH ODS].
