Fiber Choice Weight Management Strawberry
Brand: Fiber Choice · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Fiber Choice Weight Management Strawberry is calcium, based on the data provided. Calcium is essential for bone health, but the data does not support a specific weight management benefit from this ingredient. You should consider this product as a calcium supplement first and foremost [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. The data does not provide a specific mechanism for how this product would support weight management.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, but the report count specific to Fiber Choice Weight Management Strawberry is not available. For calcium, safety concerns include 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
Data not available to support a specific recommendation for weight management from this product. If you are using it for calcium, be mindful of your total daily calcium intake from all sources to avoid exceeding safe levels [NIH ODS]. Consult your doctor before starting, especially if you take any of the listed medications [NIH ODS].
