New Sun Fiber Cleanse with Cascara & Oat Bran
Brand: New Sun · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that New Sun Fiber Cleanse with Cascara & Oat Bran contains calcium, but the specific amount per serving is not listed. Based on the available data, calcium is essential for bone health, but high supplemental intakes carry risks. Without knowing the exact calcium dose in this product, we cannot confirm that it provides a meaningful benefit or that it is safe for you to take alongside other calcium sources [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting both muscle relaxation and nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend New Sun Fiber Cleanse with Cascara & Oat Bran at this time due to the lack of specific dosage information for its calcium content. If you are considering a fiber supplement, it is safer to choose a product with a clearly labeled ingredient list and dosage. Always check with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, or levothyroxine, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS].
