How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the garlic component of this product, specific mechanisms are not provided in the available data.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports total across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For the calcium component, high 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking with your physician before taking this supplement, especially if you take any medications for bone health, thyroid conditions, or infections. Since data on the garlic-specific benefits is not available, you should not rely on this product for any specific health outcome without further guidance from your healthcare provider [NIH ODS].
