MegaFood Daily Energy Nutrient Booster Powder
Brand: MegaFood · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that MegaFood Daily Energy Nutrient Booster Powder contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, data on the specific benefits or unique formulation of this product for "energy" is not available. We recommend focusing on your total daily calcium intake from all sources, as this is the key health factor here [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signaling molecule for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization to maintain density and helps your muscles relax properly after contracting [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high blood levels can cause 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 medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from food and supplements. Do not exceed 2,000–2,500 mg per day from all sources combined [NIH ODS]. Take this powder at a different time than any prescription medications you use, especially thyroid or antibiotic medications [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific "energy" claim is not available, so manage expectations accordingly.
