Our assessment
The evidence shows that Pharmax Candaclear Four Probiotic With Nutrients contains calcium, a mineral vital for bone health. However, our assessment is that you should be cautious about the dosage, as the FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for this product [FDA data]. The specific calcium content in this formula is not detailed in the data provided, which is a significant limitation.
How it works
Calcium supports your body in two key ways. First, it is critical for bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals and maintain bone density. Second, it supports neuromuscular relaxation, aiding in muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effect counts from FDA data for this product. However, high calcium intakes from supplements might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high blood levels of calcium can cause 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Given that the exact calcium dosage in this product is not provided, we cannot recommend a specific daily intake. You should check the product label for the precise amount of calcium per serving. If you are taking any of the medications listed above, take this supplement at a different time of day to avoid interference [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this or any new supplement.
