Renew Life Bowel Cleanse
Brand: Renew Life · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Renew Life Bowel Cleanse contains calcium, which is a mineral with a clear role in the body. However, the data on calcium also reveals important safety considerations that you should understand before using this product [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium works as a bone mineralization agent, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also acts as a neuromuscular relaxant, helping your muscles relax and supporting nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. These functions are essential for overall health, but the specific formulation of this bowel cleanse product may affect how calcium is absorbed and utilized.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific data for this product is not available. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you approach this product with caution. The potential for serious side effects from excessive calcium intake is significant, and the specific interactions with medications are well-documented [NIH ODS]. Because data on the exact calcium dosage in this product is not available, it is difficult to assess your personal risk. Consult your healthcare provider before using this supplement, especially if you take any prescription medications or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease.
