Brand: Solgar · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: Based on the data provided, the product is Solgar Vitamin B6 100 mg. However, the available data only covers the ingredient calcium, not vitamin B6. For the specific ingredient in this product, data is not available. The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health, but we cannot assess vitamin B6 from this dataset.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the specific mechanism of vitamin B6, data is not available.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592059 adverse event reports across all supplements in this dataset. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that 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]. For side effects of vitamin B6, data is not available. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Since the product label specifies Vitamin B6 100 mg and the data provided only covers calcium, you should not rely on this analysis for vitamin B6 guidance. For vitamin B6, data is not available. If you are taking this product, be aware of potential calcium interactions if you also take calcium supplements or medications that interact with calcium [NIH ODS]. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider for personalized advice on vitamin B6 supplementation.
