Our assessment
The evidence shows that Renew Life Bowel Cleanse contains calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment is that this product is marketed for bowel cleansing, but the primary ingredient data available relates to calcium. There is no specific clinical evidence provided for the product’s overall efficacy as a bowel cleanse. For general health, calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that the intended use of this product may not align with standard supplementation goals.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural support for your body. It works by promoting bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Data not available on how the specific blend of ingredients in Renew Life Bowel Cleanse functions as a laxative or cleanse.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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 do not recommend using this product for bowel cleansing, as data on its safety and effectiveness for that purpose is not available. If you are considering calcium supplementation, consult your healthcare provider first. Monitor for interactions with any medications you take, and be cautious of high doses due to the listed risks [NIH ODS].
