Our assessment
The evidence shows that HealthForce Friendly Force Ultimate Probiotic is a supplement containing calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for bone health, the data on this specific product is limited. The ingredient data confirms calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key mineral for your body’s structure and signaling. It works by supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's side effects. However, for calcium in general, 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]. 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
We recommend you be cautious with this product due to the limited data. If you choose to use it, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have a history of kidney issues or heart disease [NIH ODS].
