Our assessment
The evidence shows that PureBulk.com Garlic Extract is a product for which we have specific data on its ingredient, calcium, but not on the garlic extract itself. Based on the data provided, this product contains calcium as an ingredient, and we can only assess the calcium component. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, the data does not support any specific health claims for this garlic extract product without further information.
How it works
Calcium plays two critical roles in the body. First, it supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain bone density by depositing minerals into the bone matrix. Second, it supports neuromuscular relaxation, aiding in proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Data on how the garlic extract itself works is not available.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For the calcium component, 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]. Side effect report counts for this specific product are not available.
Our recommendation
Data not available to make a specific recommendation for PureBulk.com Garlic Extract. Because the data provided only covers the ingredient calcium, and not the garlic extract itself, we cannot recommend this product for any specific health purpose based on the information supplied. If you are considering this supplement, consult your healthcare provider, especially given the potential interactions and side effects associated with high calcium intake [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
