EuroMedica Active Bio-B
Brand: EuroMedica · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in EuroMedica Active Bio-B is calcium, which is well-supported for bone health. However, the data provided is incomplete regarding the specific product formulation, so our assessment focuses on calcium as the sole ingredient identified. For general bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, calcium is a foundational supplement [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signal conductor for your body. It supports bone density by depositing minerals into your skeleton, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves transmit signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high blood levels can cause 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 absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start with a calcium supplement only if your dietary intake is low. Be aware of the potential for serious side effects at high doses and the interactions with common medications. Data not available on the specific dosage or form of calcium in EuroMedica Active Bio-B, so consult your healthcare provider before use [NIH ODS].
