Our assessment
The evidence shows that Pharmax Clear Four Delayed Release Allicin is a product containing Calcium as its active ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, this specific product's benefits and risks are tied directly to the calcium it provides. Data not available for allicin-specific effects from the provided sources. You should understand the established role of calcium before considering this supplement.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component and a cellular messenger. It supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain bone density, and it supports neuromuscular relaxation by aiding nerve signaling and muscle function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. The safety data for calcium shows that 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
Our recommendation is to be cautious. Because this product contains calcium, you should not exceed the recommended daily intake from all sources. If you take any medications that interact with calcium, such as thyroid medication or certain antibiotics, take them at least two hours apart. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you have a history of kidney stones or heart conditions [NIH ODS].
