Nature's Way Thisilyn Cleanse with Herbal Digestive Sweep Phase II: 6-Fiber Blend
Brand: Nature's Way · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nature's Way Thisilyn Cleanse with Herbal Digestive Sweep Phase II is a complex product containing a 6-fiber blend, but the only ingredient with available independent data is calcium. Based on the data we have, this product may contribute to your daily calcium intake, but the specific benefits of the full proprietary blend are not supported by the provided information. Our assessment is that you should approach this supplement with caution, as the "cleanse" and "digestive sweep" claims lack data from the provided sources.
How it works
Calcium, one of the ingredients, works as a master regulator for bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and supporting nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. The 6-Fiber Blend is intended to support digestive regularity, but no specific mechanism or study data is provided for the fiber components or the herbal ingredients in this product.
Safety profile
Based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System, there are a total of 592,059 reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For the calcium component, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from high calcium levels include 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available for side effects of the herbal or fiber components.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to be cautious with this product. The data provided does not include clinical studies on the "cleanse" or "digestive sweep" claims. If you are considering this for calcium, know the risks of high intake and check for medication interactions. For digestive health, a simpler, well-studied fiber supplement may be a safer choice. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially one with a proprietary blend lacking published evidence [NIH ODS].
