Pure Encapsulations PureLean Fiber
Brand: Pure Encapsulations · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Pure Encapsulations PureLean Fiber is a supplement containing calcium, a mineral critical for bone health. Our assessment: this product can be a useful tool for supporting your daily nutrient intake, but you need to be aware of specific safety considerations and potential medication interactions before adding it to your routine.
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition for strong bones, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves function properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all products in the database [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels 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].
Our recommendation
We recommend you start by reviewing the product label for the exact calcium dosage per serving. Because calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications — including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin — take this supplement at a different time of day than any prescriptions [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider to determine if this supplement is right for your individual needs.
