vitafusion Fiber+Calcium
Brand: vitafusion · Form: GUMMY [E0176] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product combines two nutrients where data is limited for combined supplementation. For fiber, the data confirms that adequate intake is 14 grams per 1,000 calories, and most Americans fall short [NIH ODS]. For calcium, the RDA for adults 19–50 years is 1,000 mg daily, and for women over 50 it is 1,200 mg daily [NIH ODS]. However, our assessment is that you should check the specific amounts of fiber and calcium in each serving of this product against your individual needs, as the data does not provide a specific recommended dose for this combination.
How it works
Think of fiber as a bulking agent that helps regulate digestion and supports heart health by lowering cholesterol [NIH ODS]. Calcium acts as a structural component for bones and teeth, and it also supports nerve transmission and muscle function [NIH ODS]. When combined in a supplement, the fiber may help slow calcium absorption, but this effect is not quantified in the provided data.
Safety profile
Data not available for adverse event reports specific to this product. For calcium, the upper limit is 2,500 mg daily for adults 19–50 years, and 2,000 mg daily for those 51 and older [NIH ODS]. Exceeding these limits may increase risk of kidney stones [NIH ODS]. For fiber, increasing intake too quickly can cause gas and bloating [NIH ODS]. No FDA adverse event data is provided for this specific product.
Our recommendation
Start by checking if this product provides a meaningful amount of fiber (aim for at least 3–5 grams per serving) and calcium (no more than 500 mg per serving to aid absorption) [NIH ODS]. It is best to get fiber from whole foods like fruits and vegetables, and calcium from dairy or fortified foods [NIH ODS]. Use this supplement only if your diet consistently falls short in both nutrients, and do not exceed the daily upper limits for calcium [NIH ODS].
