Our assessment
The evidence shows that Solgar Vitamin B6 100 mg is a specific formulation of vitamin B6, but the data provided does not contain information about vitamin B6 itself. Our assessment must be based solely on the data available, which is for calcium. If you are taking this product for vitamin B6, please note that specific data for B6 is not included in this analysis.
How it works
Based on the data provided, the ingredient calcium works through bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and through neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones and a regulator for your muscles and nerves.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for calcium or this product are not available in the data. For calcium, safety concerns include that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to be cautious. The data available does not support the use of this specific Solgar Vitamin B6 100 mg product, as no B6 data was provided. For the calcium data that is available, you should be aware of potential interactions: calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available for a final recommendation on this product.
