Our assessment
The evidence shows that Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract Formula 105 contains calcium as an ingredient. Our assessment: calcium is a well-supported mineral for bone health, but you should be aware of its specific safety profile and potential interactions before adding this supplement to your routine [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in your 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]. Data on side effects for this specific product is not available.
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about whether this supplement is right for you, especially if you take any of those medications.
