Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is a fiber supplement, but the data provided contains no specific information about fiber benefits or risks. Our assessment is based solely on the listed ingredient: Calcium. For general bone health, calcium is well-supported, but the amount in this specific product is not provided [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without complete ingredient amounts, it is impossible to know how much you are getting from this product.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from high levels include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We cannot make a confident recommendation for this product because the exact dose of its ingredients is not provided. If you choose to use it, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. For fiber needs, data is not available for this specific product, so consider whole food sources instead.
