Our assessment
The evidence shows that OL Olympian Labs Garlic Odorless contains calcium as an ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for bone health, the specific benefits of this product for odorless garlic are unclear from the data provided. You should be aware that the primary ingredient data available is for calcium, not garlic [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization, helping your bones stay dense and strong [NIH ODS]. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, some research suggests 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to be cautious. Data not available on the specific effects of the garlic component in this product. If you are taking calcium for bone health, do not exceed recommended intakes, and be aware that calcium supplements may interact with prescription medications [NIH ODS]. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement, especially if you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or take prescription drugs [NIH ODS].
