Our assessment
The evidence shows that Planetary Herbals Ginseng Revitalizer 964 mg contains calcium as an ingredient. Our assessment: based on the data provided, this product may support bone health, but you need to be aware of specific risks and medication interactions. The data does not include any specific studies or side effect reports for this exact product, so we must rely on the ingredient-level information for calcium [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through bone mineralization, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's adverse events. However, for the ingredient calcium, 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]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Based on the data, we cannot make a specific recommendation for this product due to missing information on its other ingredients and clinical studies. If you are taking any of the listed medications (bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin), consult your doctor before using this supplement due to potential absorption issues [NIH ODS]. For calcium specifically, follow established guidelines and do not exceed safe intake levels to avoid the risks of high blood calcium [NIH ODS].
