Our assessment
The evidence shows that Major Garlic 500 mg is a supplement with very limited specific data. We have no direct clinical studies or adverse event reports for this exact product. The ingredient data provided is for calcium, not garlic. Our assessment is that you should be cautious, as the available information does not support the efficacy or safety of this specific garlic supplement.
How it works
Data on how garlic works is not available from the provided sources. The data we have is for calcium, which works through bone mineralization to support bone density and through neuromuscular relaxation to support muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This information does not apply to garlic.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but data for Major Garlic 500 mg specifically is not available. For the ingredient calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the blood can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. These side effects are not from garlic.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to seek guidance from a healthcare professional before using Major Garlic 500 mg. Since specific data for this product is not available, we cannot confirm its benefits or safety. For general health, you may consider standard dietary sources of garlic rather than this supplement [Data not available].
