Our assessment
The evidence shows that Member's Mark Fiber Powder Orange Smooth is a source of calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data on calcium supplementation carries important risks you need to consider before use [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood can cause poor muscle tone, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Before starting this fiber supplement, consider your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Calcium can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, antibiotics, and levothyroxine — take them at separate times [NIH ODS].
