Our assessment
The evidence shows that Garden Greens Fiber Gummies, containing calcium, support bone health through bone mineralization and help with nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, you need to be very careful with dosage. The data indicates that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones and teeth. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For this product to be effective, you must pay attention to your total daily calcium intake from all sources.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. Side effects from high calcium levels include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. High levels can also cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, and low phosphate levels [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin — take this supplement at least two hours apart from those medications [NIH ODS]. Do not exceed recommended doses, as high intakes increase health risks [NIH ODS].
