However, we cannot directly assess Herb Pharm Myrrh because data for this specific product is not available in the provided information. Our analysis focuses on the calcium content, which is the only ingredient with data.
How it works
Calcium acts as a structural component for your bones and teeth, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the building block your body relies on for strength and signaling.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from high calcium levels include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
