Data not available on the probiotic strains or fiber content specifically for this product.

How it works

Based on the data provided, the ingredient Calcium works through two primary mechanisms: bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. There is no data provided on how this specific product's fiber or probiotic components function.

Safety profile

FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for Health Plus Colon Cleanse Max Probiotic Fiber are not available. Regarding Calcium specifically, some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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 several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

We recommend that you do not use this product without first consulting your healthcare provider. The data is insufficient to confirm its safety or effectiveness for colon cleansing or probiotic fiber support. If you are considering a calcium supplement, discuss the appropriate dosage with your doctor, as high intakes carry significant risks [NIH ODS]. Always check for potential interactions with your current medications [NIH ODS].
