NESS Nutritional Enzyme Support System Formula 401 Intestinal Repair
Brand: NESS Nutritional Enzyme Support System · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in this product is calcium. For general bone health, the data supports calcium's role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular function [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that this supplement is marketed for intestinal repair, and the data provided does not include studies or evidence specific to that claim.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. The specific mechanism for intestinal repair is not supported by the data provided.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by discussing your intestinal health concerns with your doctor before taking this supplement. If you choose to take it for calcium support, be aware of the potential for high intake side effects and medication interactions [NIH ODS]. Data not available for intestinal repair efficacy.
