Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for your body, but it requires careful management. For a product like Nature’s Way Garlicin Cardio, calcium is not a listed ingredient, so this supplement does not provide a meaningful source of this mineral for bone or heart health [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones and nerves. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific data for this product is not available. For calcium specifically, taking too much can lead to serious risks, including constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. High intakes may also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should not rely on Nature's Way Garlicin Cardio for your calcium needs, as it does not contain this ingredient. If you require calcium supplementation, discuss your intake with your healthcare provider to avoid exceeding safe levels and to check for interactions with medications like bisphosphonates or thyroid medication [NIH ODS].
