Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health, but the data available does not provide specific dosage information for this blend. Our assessment is that while calcium has well-documented benefits, the lack of specific ingredient amounts for the "Organic Traditions Probiotic Super Greens With Turmeric" makes it difficult to determine if you are getting a meaningful or safe dose. You should not rely on this product as your primary source of calcium without additional information from the label [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator in your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain strong bone density. It also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly after contraction [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. Regarding calcium, some research suggests that 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the product label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. If this information is missing, data is not available to make a safe recommendation. For your bone health, consider a standard calcium supplement with a known dose, and always take it separately from thyroid medication or antibiotics to avoid interactions [NIH ODS].
