Herb Pharm Celery
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Herb Pharm Celery is likely calcium, based on the available data. For general bone health, calcium is a well-supported mineral, but we must be careful about total intake from all sources. The data does not provide specific information about celery seed extract itself, so our assessment focuses on the calcium component [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. You need adequate calcium throughout your life to maintain strong bones and proper muscle function.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, 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 several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you are considering this product for calcium, check your total daily intake from food and other supplements. The data does not specify the amount of calcium in this specific product, so you cannot reliably dose with it. For bone health, we recommend getting calcium from dietary sources first and consulting your healthcare provider before adding any supplement, especially if you take any of the medications listed above [NIH ODS].
