Pure Triple Fiber Plus
Brand: Pure · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Pure Triple Fiber Plus contains calcium as a key ingredient. For most adults, calcium is essential for bone health and nerve function, with a recommended daily allowance that varies by age and gender [NIH ODS]. However, we must be precise about what the data supports and what it does not.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals into your skeleton to maintain density and strength [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves transmit signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. Data not available for side effect report counts specific to this product.
Our recommendation
We recommend you consult a healthcare provider before starting any fiber supplement containing calcium. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Start with a low dose and monitor for any digestive discomfort. Data not available for specific dosing guidelines for this product.
