Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary ingredient in Renew Life FiberSmart is calcium, which is a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that while calcium is well-supported for maintaining bone density, the data does not support using this product for any other specific health condition. You should not exceed the daily recommended intake without consulting a healthcare professional.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and mineral deposition, which is critical for strong bones. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
