Our assessment
The evidence shows that Floradix Floravital Iron + Herbs contains calcium as a key mineral. Our assessment: this product can help support your bone health, but you need to be aware of the specific safety limits and potential interactions associated with calcium [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves. It supports bone density through mineralization and helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, for calcium as an ingredient, high 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]. The total adverse event reports across all FDA-tracked products is 592,059 [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you use this product only as directed on the label. Be cautious with total calcium intake from all sources, and talk to your doctor if you take medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS].
