Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment is that calcium is a well-studied mineral, but you should be aware of both its benefits and its potential risks before using this fiber supplement. Data on the specific formula of Enzymatic Therapy Whole Body Yeast Balance Fiber Fusion Daily Cleansing Fiber is limited, so we focus on the known effects of its calcium content [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signal messenger. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. In a fiber product, calcium may help support overall digestive and neuromuscular function, though the primary role of the fiber itself is to promote regularity.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for this product category. For calcium specifically, 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] [FDA data]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to use this product with caution. If you take any medications, especially those listed above, take this fiber supplement at least two hours apart from your medication to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS]. Do not exceed the recommended serving size, as high calcium intake carries significant risks. If you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer, speak with your doctor before using this product [NIH ODS].
