Nature's Way Thisilyn Cleanse with Mineral Digestive Sweep Phase II: 6 Fiber Blend
Brand: Nature's Way · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product, Nature's Way Thisilyn Cleanse with Mineral Digestive Sweep Phase II, contains calcium as a key mineral ingredient. Based on the available data, calcium is well-documented for its role in bone health, but we must be cautious about the specific formulation and its intended "cleanse" purpose. You should not rely on this product for calcium supplementation without understanding its full ingredient profile, as data on the complete blend is not available [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural support for your skeleton. It works by supporting bone density and mineral deposition, which helps keep your bones strong. Calcium also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly after contraction [NIH ODS]. However, the "cleanse" and "digestive sweep" mechanisms of the other ingredients in this blend are not described in the provided data, so their specific actions cannot be confirmed here.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products in the database. For calcium specifically, high intakes can pose risks. Data not available on the exact dosage in this product, but side effects of excessive calcium include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms. High levels in the blood and urine can also lead to poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the specific dosage of calcium in this product or the complete ingredient list, so we cannot make a specific dosing recommendation. You should be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Our advice: consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product, especially if you take any medications or have a history of kidney stones or heart conditions. Do not use this as your primary calcium source without clear dosage information.
