Nature's Plus Complete Body Cleanse Fiber Complete Body Colon Cleanse
Brand: Nature's Plus · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health, but the data does not support using it as a colon cleanse. For the specific "Nature's Plus Complete Body Cleanse Fiber Complete Body Colon Cleanse" product, data on its effectiveness as a colon cleanse is not available. The only ingredient data provided is for calcium, which is known for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. You should not expect this product to produce a meaningful "colon cleanse" effect based on the available data.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block and a signaling molecule. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for skeletal strength. It also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS]. The product is labeled as a fiber complete colon cleanse, but the specific fiber ingredients and their mechanisms are not provided in the data, so we cannot explain how they would work for that purpose.
Safety profile
The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, safety data shows 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We do not recommend this product for colon cleansing, as the data provided does not support that use. If you are taking it for calcium, be aware of the potential risks and medication interactions. You should not exceed the recommended intake without consulting your doctor. For any colon health concerns, focus on a diet rich in fiber from whole foods and stay hydrated. Always speak with a healthcare provider before starting a new supplement, especially one marketed for colon cleansing.
