NewtonEverett Odorless Garlic 1,000 mg
Brand: NewtonEverett · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that NewtonEverett Odorless Garlic 1,000 mg is a supplement you should approach with caution. Our assessment is based on the available data, which reveals a significant safety concern: the product contains calcium, not garlic as a primary active ingredient. This is a critical distinction because the data on calcium reveals specific risks and interactions you need to know about [NIH ODS].
How it works
If you are taking this product for calcium, it works through bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and through neuromuscular relaxation, which supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Data on how this specific product works as a garlic supplement is not available.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For the calcium ingredient, 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
We recommend you stop using this product and consult your healthcare provider. The label indicates "Odorless Garlic," but the ingredient data shows calcium. This mismatch means you cannot rely on the product for either garlic or calcium benefits without significant risk. For bone health, discuss appropriate calcium sources and dosages with your doctor. For any garlic-related health goals, seek a product with a clear, verified ingredient label [NIH ODS].
