Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence for this specific product is limited. The data available relates to the ingredient calcium, not the Nature's Way Garlicin Cardio 350 mg supplement itself. For general calcium intake, you should know that it supports bone density and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signal messenger. It works by supporting bone mineralization, which is the process of depositing minerals into your skeleton to keep it strong. It also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Data not available for the specific Nature's Way Garlicin Cardio 350 mg product. For general calcium, be aware that it can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Speak with your doctor before starting any new supplement.
