Integrative Therapeutics B12-Active Cherry
Brand: Integrative Therapeutics · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health [NIH ODS]. However, we cannot assess the specific benefits of "Integrative Therapeutics B12-Active Cherry" because the data provided only covers calcium, and no ingredient-specific information for B12 or the product formula is available. You should be aware of calcium's role and risks when considering any supplement containing it.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body's structural and signaling systems. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, a process called bone mineralization, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a key building block for your skeleton and a quiet conductor for your neuromuscular system.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports 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 [NIH ODS]. Very 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 medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because data on the specific B12 content and formula of this product is not available, we cannot make a targeted recommendation for "Integrative Therapeutics B12-Active Cherry." If you are taking it for calcium, be cautious with dosing to avoid high intake. Check with your doctor if you take any of the listed medications, as calcium can interfere with their absorption [NIH ODS]. For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider.
