Kyolic Kyolic Liver Support
Brand: Kyolic · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Kyolic Liver Support contains calcium, a mineral best known for bone health. However, for liver support specifically, the data on this product is limited. We cannot confirm its effectiveness for liver health based on the information provided. Data not available for other ingredients in this product.
How it works
Calcium plays a role in bone mineralization, helping support bone density and mineral deposition. It also contributes to neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a structural foundation for your bones and a regulator for your nerves and muscles. Whether these actions translate to liver support is not addressed by the available data.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend Kyolic Liver Support for its intended purpose based on the data provided. The available information focuses on calcium, which is not specifically indicated for liver health. If you are seeking liver support, consult your healthcare provider for evidence-based options. For general calcium needs, the RDA is 1,000 to 1,200 mg daily for most adults, but always discuss supplements with your doctor first [NIH ODS].
