Anabolic Laboratories Zinc Lozenges
Brand: Anabolic Laboratories · Form: LOZENGE [E0174] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Anabolic Laboratories Zinc Lozenges, which contain calcium, provide bone support through mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, the data for this specific product is limited to the ingredient calcium, and we cannot confirm the presence or amount of zinc from the provided information.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports for products containing these ingredients. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high levels can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available for side effects specific to zinc lozenges.
Our recommendation
We recommend you consult your doctor before taking this supplement, especially if you take prescription medications. Because high calcium intakes carry cardiovascular risks, do not exceed the recommended dose on the label [NIH ODS]. Data not available to confirm the exact zinc content or its benefits for immune support.
