Bayer Phillips' Fiber Good Gummies plus Energy Support

Our assessment

The evidence shows that Bayer Phillips’ Fiber Good Gummies plus Energy Support contains the mineral calcium. Our assessment: based on the provided data, this product’s primary benefit is likely related to bone health and nerve function. However, there is no data available on the specific amount of calcium per serving or the other ingredients in this gummy. This makes it difficult to offer a precise recommendation for your individual needs.

How it works

Calcium functions as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to deposit and maintain bone density, and it is essential for neuromuscular relaxation, which supports healthy muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

From a safety perspective, the FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific side effects reported for this product is not available.

Our recommendation

Because the exact dosage of calcium in this gummy is not provided in the available data, we recommend you check the product label for the specific amount per serving. If you are taking any of the medications listed above, take this supplement at a different time of day to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS]. For most adults, the goal is to get calcium from food first, and only use supplements to fill a gap. Talk to your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.

Supplement labels contain several key sections regulated by the FDA:

• % Daily Value (%DV) — Indicates how much a nutrient in a serving contributes to a daily diet. 5% DV or less is low; 20% DV or more is high.
• Other Ingredients — Lists inactive ingredients like fillers, binders, and capsule materials (e.g., gelatin, cellulose, magnesium stearate).
• Suggested Use — The manufacturer's recommended directions for taking the supplement, including timing and dosage.
