Konsyl Daily Fiber Orange
Brand: Konsyl · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Konsyl Daily Fiber Orange is a fiber supplement, and its main active ingredient for health benefit is psyllium husk. However, the data provided specifically covers the ingredient Calcium, not psyllium. Based on the available information, we cannot assess the fiber-specific benefits of this product. You should consult the product label for its intended use as a fiber supplement.
How it works
Based on the data provided for the ingredient Calcium, which is listed on the label, it works through two primary mechanisms: Bone mineralization — supporting bone density and mineral deposition; and Neuromuscular relaxation — supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific adverse events for this product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for Konsyl Daily Fiber Orange are not provided [FDA data]. Regarding the ingredient Calcium, 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].
Our recommendation
Because the data provided focuses on Calcium rather than the fiber content of this product, our recommendation is limited. You should follow the dosing instructions on the label for fiber supplementation. Be aware that Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. If you take any of these medications, consult your doctor before using this product.
