Herb Pharm Cinnamon
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that while the Herb Pharm Cinnamon product label is unavailable for review, the primary ingredient of concern here is calcium, which is present in many cinnamon supplements. Our assessment is that you should be cautious with calcium-containing supplements, as the data indicates potential risks that outweigh general benefits for many people. The NIH ODS data confirms that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signal conductor for your nerves and muscles. It helps your body maintain bone density and supports proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, because the specific ingredient list for this product is "See label" and not provided here, we cannot confirm the exact calcium content or any other ingredients in this specific Herb Pharm product.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, the data shows that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific dosage recommendation for this product. Given the lack of specific ingredient data for this Herb Pharm Cinnamon product and the known risks of excessive calcium intake, our recommendation is to consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement. If you are taking any medications like thyroid hormone or antibiotics, be especially cautious due to potential interactions [NIH ODS]. Choose a product with a clearly disclosed label so you can verify the exact ingredients and amounts.
