How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the foundation for strong bones and proper muscle function.
Safety profile
FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific reports for Herbal Terra Oriental Garlic are not available. For Calcium itself, safety concerns include 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].

Our recommendation
