Our assessment
The evidence shows that the key ingredient in this product is calcium, which is best known for its role in bone health. For a general audience seeking a fiber formula, it is important to note that this product does not appear to be a standard fiber supplement. Our assessment is that you should understand what calcium does and its potential risks before using this product, as data for the specific "Cleansing System" formula is limited.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density, and it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for products in this category. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Signs of too much calcium in the blood include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you verify that this product matches your health goals. If you are looking for a fiber supplement, data for this specific formula as a fiber source is not available. If you are taking calcium, be aware of the medication interactions listed above. Start with a low dose and consult your doctor, especially if you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or take prescription medications [NIH ODS].
