Bayer Phillips' Fiber Good Gummies Plus Energy Support

Our assessment

The evidence shows that Bayer Phillips' Fiber Good Gummies Plus Energy Support provides fiber and energy support, but the key ingredient with the most data is calcium. Our assessment: this product is best used as a fiber supplement with added calcium, though you should be aware of calcium’s specific risks and interactions. Data not available for total fiber or energy ingredient amounts.

How it works

Calcium in this gummy plays two primary roles. First, it supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into bone density. Second, it aids neuromuscular relaxation — meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. The fiber component works by adding bulk to your diet, which can support digestive regularity.

Safety profile

FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels in 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 reduce absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

We recommend using this gummy as a fiber supplement only if you need extra calcium in your diet. Start with one serving daily and monitor for constipation or nausea. If you take any medications listed above, take this gummy at least 2 hours apart from those drugs. Data not available for total fiber content per serving, so check the label for exact amounts compared to your daily fiber needs [NIH ODS].
