Shaklee Shaklee Fiber Plan Unflavored

Our assessment
The evidence shows that Shaklee Fiber Plan Unflavored contains calcium, a mineral with clear benefits for bone health. However, the data available for this specific product is limited, and we must rely on general information about its key ingredient to guide your decision.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals and maintain bone density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, aiding muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data on side effects specific to this product is not available. For calcium in general, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels 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]. The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but this number is not specific to Shaklee Fiber Plan [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Without specific dosage information for this product, we cannot provide a standard daily intake. Choose a supplement based on your individual needs and after a discussion with your doctor.
