Gaia Herbs SystemSupport Supreme Cleanse Daily Cleanse Fiber 110 gm

Our assessment

The evidence shows that this product contains calcium as a primary ingredient. The data indicates that calcium supports bone density and neuromuscular function, but we must be cautious about total intake from all sources [NIH ODS]. Based on the FDA adverse event data, there are 592,059 total reports across similar products, though specific reports for this exact formulation are not available [FDA data].

How it works

Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS]. For a daily cleanse fiber product, the calcium content contributes to overall mineral balance during your cleansing routine.

Safety profile

FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all products in this category. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium can cause 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 such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision. If you take prescription medications, take this product at a different time of day from your medicines. Data not available for specific dosing for this product's fiber blend, so follow the label instructions precisely [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
