Our assessment
The evidence shows that DaVinci Laboratories of Vermont Clearly Fiber contains calcium, a mineral that supports bone health and nerve function. However, the data provided does not include specific testing or claims for this product's fiber content or efficacy. Our assessment is that while calcium is a well-documented nutrient, you should be cautious about exceeding recommended intakes, as high levels may pose health risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This means it helps your muscles relax and your nerves communicate properly. For you, this is essential for maintaining strong bones and normal muscle function.
Safety profile
FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not separated. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Signs of high calcium levels include 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the specific fiber content or dosage for this product. If you are using this for fiber, confirm the serving size and fiber amount from the label. For calcium, keep your total daily intake from all sources within safe limits. Always take calcium supplements separately from medications like thyroid or antibiotic drugs by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
