Our assessment
The evidence shows that the active ingredient in Health Plus Every Day Fiber Orange Flavor is calcium, based on the ingredient information provided. For general health, calcium is a critical mineral for bone density and nerve function, but the data on supplementation has important limitations you need to know [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a foundation builder for your body. It supports bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals into your skeleton to keep it strong. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for this product type. For the calcium ingredient specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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
Start by getting your calcium from food first, as supplements carry risks at high doses. If you use this product, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available on the specific fiber component of this product. Consult your doctor before starting, especially if you have kidney issues or take medications [NIH ODS].
