Our assessment

The evidence shows that Garden Greens 24 Hour Inner Cleanse Nighttime Fiber is a supplement whose primary active ingredient, based on the provided data, is Calcium. Data not available on the specific fiber blend or other ingredients in this product. For the calcium component, our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, the safety profile requires careful attention, especially regarding dosage and potential interactions with medications [NIH ODS].

How it works

Calcium plays a critical role in your body. Think of it as a structural building block for your bones and teeth, supporting bone density through a process called bone mineralization [NIH ODS]. It also acts as a neuromuscular regulator, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS]. These functions are vital for everyday movement and overall health.

Safety profile

FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, the data warns that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high levels of calcium in your blood and urine can cause serious issues including 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]. You should also be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

Data not available on the specific dosage of calcium in this product or its intended use for nighttime cleansing. Given the potential risks associated with high calcium intake and its interactions with common medications, we recommend you consult with your healthcare provider before using this product [NIH ODS]. They can help you determine if this supplement is appropriate for you and check for any potential conflicts with your current medications or health conditions.
