Our assessment
The evidence shows that MNP Michael's Naturopathic Programs Fiber & More contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that this product can support your daily calcium intake, but you need to be mindful of your total calcium consumption from all sources to avoid potential risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your body. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your skeleton, and it plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, aiding muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels in your blood and urine can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Take this product with food to improve absorption, and separate it from any medications listed above by at least two hours. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without a healthcare provider’s guidance [NIH ODS].
