Enzymatic Therapy Fiber Delights Vanilla Flavor
Brand: Enzymatic Therapy · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Enzymatic Therapy Fiber Delights Vanilla Flavor is a fiber supplement. Based on the data provided, the primary active ingredient for which we have detailed information is calcium. Our assessment is that while this product can contribute to your daily fiber intake, you should be aware of the specific considerations for calcium supplementation, including its potential interactions and safety profile [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a signal messenger. It works by supporting bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals into your bone matrix to maintain density and strength. Calcium also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after contraction [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category. For the calcium component, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the 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
We recommend using this product as a fiber supplement, but be mindful that it also provides calcium. Since calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, you should take this supplement at a different time than those medications [NIH ODS]. Data not available for other ingredients in this product [FDA data].
