Our assessment
Our assessment: Pure Encapsulations PureLean Fiber appears to contain calcium.

We have no data on the specific fiber blend in this product, so our analysis is based solely on the calcium content.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the structural support for your skeleton and the calming signal for your nervous system [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. You should be aware that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium 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
Our recommendation: Before taking this product, check your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. If you take any medications listed above, separate your calcium supplement by at least 2 hours to avoid absorption issues. Data not available on the specific fiber ingredients, so we cannot assess their benefits or risks. Consult your healthcare provider to determine if this supplement is appropriate for your needs [NIH ODS].
