Nature's Plus Quick Body Cleanse Alkacia Alkalizing Fiber Quick Colon Cleanse
Brand: Nature's Plus · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the specific formula "Alkacia Alkalizing Fiber Quick Colon Cleanse" has no clinical studies in the provided data. Our assessment is that while calcium is a well-researched nutrient, there is no data to support the specific "colon cleanse" or "alkalizing" claims of this product [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium works as a master regulator for your bones and muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. The "alkalizing fiber" mechanism is not supported by the data provided, so we cannot explain how that component functions.
Safety profile
FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects of high calcium levels 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 absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the specific colon cleanse formula. Without studies on this product, we cannot recommend it for colon cleansing or alkalizing purposes. If you are considering calcium supplementation, the data supports getting calcium from food sources first and speaking with your doctor about your specific needs, especially if you take any of the medications listed above [NIH ODS].
