Our assessment
The evidence shows that Plum Flower Red Ginseng is a traditional herbal supplement, but the data provided here is for the mineral calcium, not for red ginseng itself. We cannot make an assessment on red ginseng's benefits based on this data. For calcium, our assessment is that it is essential for bone health, but you must be cautious with dosing [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones and nerves. It supports bone mineralization and helps your muscles relax through neuromuscular signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Symptoms of excess calcium include poor muscle tone, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available for Plum Flower Red Ginseng specifically. For calcium, do not exceed the recommended intake without medical supervision. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates and thyroid hormone, so separate your doses [NIH ODS].
