Promend Prebiotic Fiber Gummies
Brand: Promend · Form: GUMMY [E0176] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Promend Prebiotic Fiber Gummies contain calcium, a mineral that is essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, we need to be clear: the provided data does not list the specific dose of calcium in this product, nor does it confirm that this product functions as a prebiotic fiber supplement based on the ingredients listed. You should check the product label for the exact calcium content and other ingredients.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Without sufficient calcium, your body may leach it from your bones to support these critical functions.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories, though data is not available specifically for this product. Regarding calcium itself, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the exact calcium dose is not provided in the data, you should verify the label before using this product. If you take any of the medications listed above, take calcium at least two hours apart from them [NIH ODS]. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level of 2,500 mg per day from all sources (food and supplements) unless directed by your doctor [NIH ODS]. For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider.
