Our assessment
The evidence shows that Nature's Way Garlic Parsley 1,090 mg is a combination supplement, but the specific data provided only covers the ingredient calcium. Data for garlic and parsley is not available in the provided information. Based on the calcium content, our assessment is that this supplement may contribute to your daily calcium intake, but it should not be relied upon as a primary calcium source without knowing the exact amount of calcium per serving [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the product label for the exact amount of calcium per serving, as this data is not provided. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. If you take any of these medications, take this supplement at a different time of day. Data not available for the garlic and parsley ingredients, so consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement.
