Herb Pharm Sheep Sorrel
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains Calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, "Sheep Sorrel" as a single-herb extract has no specific data provided regarding its efficacy or safety. Our assessment is that while calcium is a well-studied supplement, the overall formulation lacks sufficient evidence for targeted health claims.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body’s structural foundation. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the key building block that keeps your skeleton strong and your neuromuscular system functioning smoothly.
Safety profile
Data not available for sheep sorrel specifically. For calcium, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though report counts specific to this product are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Based on available data, we cannot recommend this product for any specific health purpose. If you need to address a calcium deficiency, use a standard, well-studied calcium supplement and follow the RDA guidelines [NIH ODS]. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, or thyroid medication, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS].
