Indiana Botanic Gardens Ginseng Booster
Brand: Indiana Botanic Gardens · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Indiana Botanic Gardens Ginseng Booster contains Calcium, but data for the specific product’s active ingredients is not available. Based on the ingredient Calcium, our assessment is that this supplement may support bone health, but you should be aware of significant risks and medication interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is essential for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the key mineral that keeps your bones strong and your muscles functioning smoothly.
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 may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels 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 bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because data for the specific Ginseng Booster ingredients is not available, and given the potential risks of high Calcium intake, we recommend you consult your healthcare provider before using this product. If you proceed, monitor for side effects and check for interactions with any medications you take [NIH ODS].
