Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data on this specific Planetary Herbals Ginseng Classic 710 mg product is limited. Our assessment is that you should not rely on this product as a primary source of calcium without first consulting your healthcare provider, as the exact calcium content per serving is not specified in the data provided [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium supports your body through bone mineralization, helping maintain bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, for the ingredient calcium, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products. High calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Given the lack of specific dosage data for this product and the potential risks of excessive calcium intake, we recommend you speak with a healthcare professional before use. Do not take this supplement if you are on any medications that interact with calcium [NIH ODS].
