Flora Advanced Adult's Probiotic
Brand: Flora · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Flora Advanced Adult's Probiotic has limited available data for a full clinical assessment. For the ingredient calcium, which is often included in multivitamin or probiotic blends, the data is robust but specific to that mineral alone [NIH ODS]. We cannot assess the unique benefits of the probiotic strains in this product without specific data on them.
How it works
If this product contains calcium, it supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your bone structure and aids neuromuscular relaxation for proper muscle and nerve function [NIH ODS]. Without strain-specific data for the probiotic component, we cannot detail how those bacteria work in your gut.
Safety profile
For the calcium component, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific recommendation on this probiotic blend. If you are taking calcium separately, be aware it can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine — take calcium at least two hours apart from these drugs [NIH ODS].
