Promend Promend Prebiotic Fiber Gummies
Brand: Promend · Form: GUMMY [E0176]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that for a prebiotic fiber gummy, the active ingredient is not fully specified in the data provided. However, the product label includes calcium, which we can evaluate. Our assessment: calcium is a well-studied mineral for bone health, but the data provided does not allow us to assess the prebiotic fiber component of this specific product. Data not available for the prebiotic fiber itself.
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your bone matrix, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation by supporting nerve signaling and muscle function [NIH ODS]. The prebiotic fiber mechanism is not described in the data provided.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High blood and urine levels of calcium 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 reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the data does not provide specific information on the prebiotic fiber content or its effects, we cannot recommend this product for fiber supplementation. If you are taking this for calcium, you should be aware of the potential side effects and drug interactions. For fiber support, consult your healthcare provider for a product with a clearly defined, evidence-based prebiotic ingredient. Data not available to support a specific recommendation for this gummy.
