Herb Pharm Eleuthero
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Herb Pharm Eleuthero is not listed in the provided data. However, the data we have concerns a different ingredient, Calcium, which is a mineral. Our assessment is that you should not confuse the properties of Eleuthero with Calcium. For this specific product, data on its mechanism, efficacy, and safety is not available from the provided sources.
How it works
Since the ingredient data provided is for Calcium, we can only describe how Calcium works. Think of calcium as a structural foundation — it supports bone density and mineral deposition for bone mineralization, and it supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling through neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For the ingredient Calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium 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 several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on side effects specific to Herb Pharm Eleuthero is not available.
Our recommendation
Because the provided data does not contain information on Eleuthero, we cannot offer a recommendation for this product. If you are considering a calcium supplement, start with the RDA and ensure you are not taking more than the tolerable upper intake level from all sources, including food and supplements [NIH ODS]. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications.
