Brand: Natures Plus · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Natures Plus Quick Body Cleanse Alkacia Alkalizing Fiber Quick Colon Cleanse contains Calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, relying on a colon cleanse product for it is not the most effective or studied approach. The specific benefits and risks of this product as a whole are not supported by the data we have.
How it works
Calcium is a mineral that supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation. It helps maintain bone density and is critical for muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's side effects. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you get your calcium from food sources or a standard calcium supplement, not from a colon cleanse product. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. Consult your doctor before starting any new supplement regimen.
