Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral with a clear role in bone health, but you should be aware of its safety profile and potential for interactions. Data on the specific "Daily Fiber Benefits" formula is limited, so our analysis focuses on the calcium content as listed in the data [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural and signaling molecule. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for maintaining strong bones. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after activity [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for total adverse event reports specific to this product. The FDA has received a total of 592059 reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that 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
Start by assessing your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. 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, take your calcium supplement at a different time of day. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this product to ensure it is appropriate for your health needs and medication regimen [NIH ODS].
