Our assessment
The evidence shows that NESS Nutritional Enzyme Support System Formula 13 Lipid Balance contains calcium, a mineral with well-documented roles in bone health. Our assessment is that this product may support bone density, but you should be aware of the risks associated with high calcium intake. Data on the specific formula’s effectiveness for lipid balance is not available.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and bone density. Additionally, it plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any medications for thyroid conditions, osteoporosis, or infections. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label. Monitor for side effects like constipation or nausea. If you have a history of kidney disease or heart conditions, seek professional guidance first [NIH ODS].
