Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in this product, calcium, is well-studied for bone health, but the data provided do not specifically address Herb Pharm Hydrangea. Our assessment is that you should not rely on this supplement for any specific health benefit without consulting your healthcare provider, as the data on the herbal formula itself is not available.
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, data on how the specific herbal blend in Herb Pharm Hydrangea works is not provided.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, 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]. Side effect report counts specific to this product are not available.
Our recommendation
Because the data on Herb Pharm Hydrangea is limited to its calcium content, our recommendation is to prioritize getting your calcium from dietary sources if possible, and to discuss any supplement use with a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake of calcium without medical supervision, and be aware of potential interactions with your medications [NIH ODS].
