Natures Plus Garlic and Parsley Oil
Brand: Natures Plus · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that while the product label lists Garlic and Parsley Oil, the data provided only covers the ingredient Calcium, which is not listed in the product ingredients. Based on the available information, we cannot assess the benefits of Garlic and Parsley Oil itself. For the ingredient Calcium, our assessment is that it is essential for bone health, but you should be aware of potential risks at high intakes [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals into your skeleton for density, and it promotes neuromuscular relaxation, which is crucial for proper muscle and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for Garlic and Parsley Oil specifically. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For the ingredient Calcium, side effects from high levels include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Since the data does not provide specific information on Garlic and Parsley Oil, we cannot make a recommendation for this product. If you are taking calcium supplements separately, stick to the established guidelines and consult your pharmacist or doctor about potential interactions with your medications [NIH ODS]. For this specific product, the evidence is insufficient to provide guidance.
