Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is a combination of whey protein and greens, which provides calcium from the whey component. Our assessment is that for general wellness, this product can help you meet your protein needs, but the calcium content requires careful consideration. The calcium in this product supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, the data indicates that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. You should account for all calcium sources in your diet and supplements to avoid excessive intake.
How it works
Think of the calcium in this product as a muscle and bone supporter. It works through bone mineralization to support bone density and neuromuscular relaxation to support muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. The whey protein component provides the building blocks for muscle repair and growth, while the greens offer additional nutrients. This combination is designed to support your overall recovery and daily nutrition in one convenient serving [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For the calcium component, high levels 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. You should take this product at least two hours apart from these medications.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to use this product as a convenient protein supplement, but you must monitor your total daily calcium intake from all sources. If you already consume dairy or take a calcium supplement, you may be getting too much calcium, which carries the risks described above [NIH ODS]. For most adults, the total calcium intake from food and supplements should be carefully managed. If you take any of the medications listed, separate your doses by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. Start with one serving daily and assess your tolerance.
