Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, which is essential for bone health, but you should be aware of the risks associated with high intake. Data for the specific DaVinci Laboratories Of Vermont Clearly Fiber product is limited, so our assessment is based on the calcium content listed on the label [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and proper nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for products in this category. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
You should be cautious with calcium supplementation. It can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your doctor before adding this to your routine, especially if you take any of those medications or have a history of kidney issues.
