Our assessment
The evidence shows that Premier Research Labs Allicidin contains calcium as an ingredient. Our assessment is based on the available data for calcium, not the specific branded product. You should know that while calcium is essential for health, the data on supplementation reveals important considerations you need to weigh carefully.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signal messenger. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for the specific product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood levels 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
Given the lack of specific data for Allicidin, we cannot make a confident recommendation about this product. If you choose a calcium supplement, be aware of the potential risks and medication interactions listed above. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications [NIH ODS].
