Our assessment
The evidence shows that Ormus Minerals Odorless Garlic 400 mg contains calcium as an ingredient. While calcium is essential for health, our assessment is that this product should be evaluated carefully based on the specific data for its ingredients. The data does not provide specific studies on this combination product, so we must rely on the established information for calcium [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones and muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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
Data on the specific benefits of this garlic and calcium combination is not available. We recommend you speak with your healthcare provider before using this product, especially if you take any medications that interact with calcium. Monitor your total calcium intake from all sources to avoid exceeding safe levels [NIH ODS].
