Our assessment
The evidence shows that Bayer Phillips' Fiber Good Gummies contain calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for bone health, the data on high intakes raises important safety considerations you should be aware of [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a key mineral that helps your muscles relax and your bones stay strong.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in your blood and urine 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific recommended dose for this product. However, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. If you take any of these medications, consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement. Stick to the label's serving size and do not exceed it [NIH ODS].
