Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nature's Plus Nature Cleanse PuriFiber contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that this product can support your daily calcium intake, but you must be cautious about your total calcium consumption from all sources, including food and other supplements [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve 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. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by reviewing the label of Nature's Plus Nature Cleanse PuriFiber for the exact calcium amount per serving. You should then calculate your total daily calcium from food and all supplements to avoid exceeding the upper limit. Always take calcium supplements separately from the listed medications by at least two hours [NIH ODS].
