Soothing Fiber Formula

Short answer

We found no documented interaction between BCAAs and Soothing fiber formula in the sources below. That isn't proof the combination is right for you: check each one's cautions, and ask your pharmacist if you take medication.

BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids)

What it is: Leucine, isoleucine and valine: amino acids from protein foods that muscles can use for energy.

What the research says: There's little evidence they help endurance. With weight training they might help muscle, but it isn't clear they do more than eating enough protein.

Cautions

  • A diet with enough protein already gives 10 to 20 g a day; up to another 20 g a day from supplements seems safe.

Soothing fiber formula

What it is: A blend of plants rich in soothing fiber (mucilage): aloe, marshmallow root and slippery elm.

What the research says: A small study found a formula containing slippery elm eased constipation-type IBS symptoms. Small studies suggest aloe taken by mouth may lower blood sugar in diabetes.

Cautions

  • Oral aloe gel seems safe short term; aloe latex can cause cramps and diarrhea, and aloe leaf extracts have been linked to rare cases of hepatitis.

Medicines to check

  • Diabetes medicines: aloe may lower blood sugar
