AdvoCare Fiber Peaches & Cream
Brand: AdvoCare · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that AdvoCare Fiber Peaches & Cream is a dietary supplement, and based on the data provided, the only active ingredient with specific health data is calcium. While calcium is essential for bone health, the specific formulation of this product is not fully detailed in the available data, so we must focus on what is known about calcium as an ingredient [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium is a mineral that plays a critical role in your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain strong bone density. It also aids in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly after they have been activated [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific adverse event reports for this product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, but a breakdown for this specific product is not provided. Regarding the calcium ingredient, some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels of calcium in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the specific amount of calcium in this product and its overall fiber content are not provided in the data, we cannot give a precise recommendation for its use. If you are considering this supplement, consult your healthcare provider to ensure it fits your individual needs, especially if you take any medications that interact with calcium. For general bone health, a balanced diet is the best first step [NIH ODS].
