Herb Pharm Goldenrod
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that goldenrod, as a single ingredient, has limited high-quality data to support specific health claims. The data available for this product is primarily centered on calcium content, which is listed as an ingredient. Data not available for the specific effects of goldenrod itself.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural and signaling powerhouse — it supports bone mineralization and density, and it plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. The specific mechanisms of goldenrod are not detailed in the provided data.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Side effects specific to goldenrod are not available in this data.
Our recommendation
We recommend you speak with your healthcare provider before using this product, as the evidence for goldenrod is not provided. If you are using this for its calcium content, be aware that high calcium intakes carry the risks described above [NIH ODS]. Data not available for a specific dosage or duration for goldenrod.
