Crystal Star Blood Detox
Brand: Crystal Star · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence for Crystal Star Blood Detox is limited. The product label lists no specific active ingredients, and the primary data available relates to one potential component: calcium. Calcium supports bone health, but there is no data showing it acts as a "blood detox" agent. You should be aware that the FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for dietary supplements generally, but specific data for this product is not available [FDA data].
How it works
Calcium, if present in the formula, works through bone mineralization to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also contributes to neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, no mechanism for "blood detoxification" is provided in the data.
Safety profile
The safety profile is based on calcium. 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 reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Specific side effect report counts for this product are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Data not available to support a "blood detox" claim. If you are considering this product, consult your doctor first, especially if you take medications that interact with calcium. Without ingredient-specific data, we cannot recommend this product for any health purpose [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
