Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, data on the specific *Herb Pharm Wormwood* product is limited. Based on the ingredient data, calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It helps deposit minerals into bone tissue, maintaining density and strength. It also plays a key role in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling, acting as a messenger for your nervous system [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from high blood levels include 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
You should be cautious. Calcium can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Do not exceed the RDA without medical supervision. Data not available on wormwood-specific interactions or dosing for this product.
