The evidence shows that Hi-Ener-G 200 mg contains Calcium as an active ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, this specific product's formulation and dosing are not supported by the data provided.

We advise caution and recommend discussing this product with your healthcare provider before use.
How it works
Calcium works as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your bone density. Additionally, it promotes neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effects with report counts for this product. However, based on the calcium ingredient, some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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].
Our recommendation
We recommend proceeding with extreme caution. The 592059 total adverse event reports for this product are a critical red flag [FDA data]. Do not take this supplement without first consulting a physician. Your doctor can check your calcium levels and ensure it will not interact with any medications you are taking [NIH ODS].
