Our assessment
The evidence shows that the active ingredient in Puritan's Pride Odorless Garlic is not a focus of the data provided. Instead, the data available pertains to calcium. Our assessment is that there is no direct data on garlic supplements in the information you provided. For the ingredient calcium, the data supports its role in bone health, but you should be aware of significant safety considerations and drug interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in your nervous system. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it is essential for muscle relaxation and proper nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product's ingredients are not provided. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very 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
Because the data provided does not contain specific information on Puritan's Pride Odorless Garlic or its active compounds, we cannot make a recommendation for this product. For general calcium supplementation, you should be cautious with high doses due to the risks of heart disease and kidney issues, and you must separate calcium from medications like tetracycline antibiotics and levothyroxine by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. For information on garlic specifically, data is not available in the provided materials.
