Pharmax Clear Four Allicin with Caprylates
Brand: Pharmax · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the key ingredients in Pharmax Clear Four Allicin with Caprylates are not well-documented in the data provided. While the product label lists ingredients, the only ingredient with specific data available is calcium, which is listed as a mineral for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. For the other components of this formula, data is not available to assess their specific benefits or mechanisms.
How it works
Based on the data for calcium, this ingredient supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also aids in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of calcium as a key structural component for your skeleton and a regulator for your nervous system. For the other ingredients in this product, including allicin and caprylates, specific mechanisms are not provided in the available data.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and high levels 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the data for this specific combination product is incomplete, we cannot provide a confident recommendation for Pharmax Clear Four Allicin with Caprylates as a whole. If you are taking calcium supplements separately, be cautious with dosing to avoid the risks associated with high intake, and take them at a different time than any of the listed medications [NIH ODS]. For the other ingredients in this formula, data is not available, so consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
