Our assessment
Our assessment of The Vitamin Shoppe Aged Garlic Extract 600 mg is that the data provided does not contain specific evidence for this product. The only ingredient data available is for calcium, which is not listed in the product's ingredients. The evidence shows that calcium is a mineral essential for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block — it supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for The Vitamin Shoppe Aged Garlic Extract 600 mg. Because the provided data only covers calcium, and this product does not list calcium as an ingredient, we cannot make a recommendation for this specific supplement based on the information you provided [NIH ODS].
