Our assessment
The evidence shows that L.A. Naturals Garlic is a dietary supplement, but data on this specific product is not available. Our assessment is based on the ingredient calcium, which is listed on the label. Calcium supports bone health, but the data is clear that high intakes may carry significant risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and helps with neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects of high calcium levels include 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
Data not available for L.A. Naturals Garlic specifically. If you choose a calcium supplement, be cautious with dosage. Calcium can reduce absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
