Our assessment
The evidence shows that Creative Bioscience Pure Fiber Unflavored contains calcium as an ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, you need to be careful with supplementation because high intakes carry specific risks. Data not available on the specific amount of calcium per serving from the product label.
How it works
Calcium works as a master regulator for your bones and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the key mineral your body uses to keep your skeleton strong and your muscles able to relax properly after contracting.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the product label data is not provided, we cannot confirm the exact calcium dose in this fiber supplement. Our recommendation is to check the label carefully for the exact amount of calcium per serving. If you are taking any medications listed above, take them at least two hours apart from this supplement. Start with a low amount to assess tolerance, and do not exceed the Daily Value for calcium without consulting your healthcare provider [NIH ODS].
