Our assessment
The evidence shows that Systemic Formulas Bio Nutriment FBR Fibers For Intestinal Health contains calcium as an ingredient.

Data on the product's specific fiber blend and its effects on intestinal health is not available.
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization to help maintain bone density and plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which aids muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without specific data on the fiber components of this product, we cannot detail their mechanism of action for intestinal health.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high 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
Before using this product, we recommend you review your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements, to avoid exceeding safe levels. If you take any of the medications listed in the interactions section, separate your doses by at least two hours, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Always consult with your doctor or a registered dietitian before starting a new supplement, especially one containing calcium [NIH ODS].
