How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder — it supports bone mineralization and mineral deposition, and also helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This means it plays a role in keeping your bones strong and your muscles functioning properly.
Safety profile
Safety data for this specific product is limited. For the ingredient calcium, 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]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific recommendation on this product. Because the safety profile of this product is based only on its calcium content, and not on garlic, you should consult your healthcare provider before use. If you take any medications, check with your pharmacist about potential interactions with calcium [NIH ODS].
