Our assessment
The evidence shows that Promend Once-Daily Probiotic contains the ingredient calcium. Based on the data provided, calcium is primarily used for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, without specific data on the probiotic strains or the exact calcium dose in this product, we cannot assess its effectiveness for digestive or immune health. Our assessment is that this product’s primary benefit comes from its calcium content, but specific probiotic data is not available.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones and a critical signaling molecule for your muscles and nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the probiotic portion of this supplement, specific mechanisms are not available in the provided data.

Regarding calcium: high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High calcium levels 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].
