Brand: Creative Bioscience · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Creative Bioscience Pure Protein Fiber Mix Unflavored is calcium. For most adults, calcium is essential for bone health, but supplementation requires careful consideration of dosage and potential risks. Based on the available data, this product may be appropriate for those who cannot meet their calcium needs through diet alone, but you should be aware of specific safety concerns [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, helping to maintain strong bones as you age. Additionally, calcium plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles and nerves communicate properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. The data shows that high calcium 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
Before starting this supplement, check your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Discuss your use with your healthcare provider to determine if supplementation is necessary and safe for you.
