HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Fiber Mate by Aloe Life
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Fiber Mate has 3 active ingredients: sodium, proteins, and fats. The product also contains a blend of inactive plant materials—sprouted wheatgrass, alfalfa, parsley, black walnut husk, carrot, clove, whole leaf aloe, pectin, beet, slippery elm, okra, bromelain, kelp, spinach, and a probiotic strain (DDS-1 Lacto B.
Acidophilus).
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold shows that sodium is likely effective for cystic fibrosis and possibly effective for reducing kidney damage from amphotericin B (a serious antifungal medication). For bipolar disorder and congestive heart failure, the evidence isn't strong enough to rate sodium's effectiveness in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Sodium is well tolerated when you eat normal dietary amounts up to the recommended daily limit of 2.3 grams. The main caution is that too much sodium—whether from supplements or very high intake—is linked to high blood pressure and heart strain.
Serious side effects from oral sodium are rare but can include worsening heart disease, high blood pressure, and kidney disease. Population research has also found links between high sodium intake and increased risk of gastric cancer and bone loss, though these associations are complex and depend on other factors like zinc intake.
For pregnancy and lactation, sodium is rated likely safe, though one entry in the data is marked possibly unsafe—talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Fiber Mate, have your doctor or pharmacist check whether you're on blood pressure medications, lithium, corticosteroids, didanosine, tolvaptan, sodium phosphate bowel-prep, or any other sodium-containing drugs—all can be affected by added sodium. The most serious concern is reduced effectiveness of blood pressure control.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Fiber Mate's sodium content may be a concern if you take blood pressure medications, lithium, corticosteroids, or other sodium-sensitive drugs. If you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or kidney disease, or if you're on any medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product.
Normal dietary sodium is fine, but supplemental sodium needs professional oversight.

Fiber Mate by Aloe Life Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Fiber Mate by Aloe Life contains sodium, which interacts with a number of medication types—most seriously with blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), where high sodium intake may reduce how well they work.
Altogether, these interactions span 205 individual medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Sodium can also interact with corticosteroids, lithium, didanosine (an HIV medication), sodium phosphate bowel-prep solutions, tolvaptan (a water-pill for low sodium), and other sodium-containing drugs—all rated Moderate severity. With corticosteroids, the main concern is a buildup of sodium in your blood.
With lithium, changes in how much dietary sodium you eat can shift lithium levels in unpredictable ways and raise the risk of lithium toxicity. Didanosine and sodium phosphate products already contain significant sodium themselves, so adding more raises the risk of sodium overload.
Tolvaptan is specifically used to raise sodium levels, so extra sodium could work against its purpose.
We were not able to check the interactions for the proteins and fats in this product. Before you start Fiber Mate, run your exact medications through the checker on this page to see if any are affected by sodium.

For each ingredient in Fiber Mate with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Sodium
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, a high intake of dietary sodium might reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.
High intake of dietary sodium can increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, high intake of sodium may necessitate increased use of antihypertensive medications to achieve blood pressure control in some patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease.
Corticosteroids
Concomitant use of mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) cause sodium retention. This effect is dose-related and depends on mineralocorticoid potency. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.
Didanosine (Videx)
Concomitant use of didanosine with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Didanosine formulations contain a significant amount of sodium.
Lithium
Altering dietary intake of sodium might alter the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
High sodium intake can reduce plasma concentrations of lithium by increasing lithium excretion. Reducing sodium intake can significantly increase plasma concentrations of lithium and cause lithium toxicity in patients being treated with lithium carbonate. Stabilizing sodium intake is shown to reduce the percentage of patients with lithium level fluctuations above 0.8 mEq/L. Patients taking lithium should avoid significant alterations in their dietary intake of sodium.
Sodium Phosphates
Theoretically, concomitant use of sodium phosphate with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Use of high doses (> 45 mL in 24 hours) of sodium phosphate, such as those used for bowel cleansing before surgery, can lead to serious electrolyte disturbances, including hypernatremia. The risk of hypernatremia is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.
Sodium-Containing Drugs
Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related complications.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium supplements or high-sodium diets, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.
Tolvaptan (Samsca)
Theoretically, concomitant use of tolvaptan with sodium might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist that is used to increase sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. Patients taking tolvaptan should use caution with the use of sodium salts such as sodium chloride.
