Indiana Botanic Gardens Super Garlic Plus Cayenne
Brand: Indiana Botanic Gardens · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Indiana Botanic Gardens Super Garlic Plus Cayenne is a combination product, but the only ingredient with a complete data profile available is calcium. The data provided does not include specific information on garlic or cayenne from this product. Our assessment is that the calcium component supports bone density and neuromuscular relaxation, but the overall product’s effectiveness cannot be fully evaluated from the data provided [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of the calcium in this product as a structural and signaling mineral. It supports bone mineralization by depositing into your bone matrix, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS]. Without specific data on garlic or cayenne, we cannot describe their mechanisms here.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For the calcium component specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Side effect report counts are not broken down by ingredient in this dataset.
Our recommendation
If you are taking this product, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin — take these medications at least two hours apart [NIH ODS]. For a complete safety assessment of this specific product, data on garlic and cayenne is not available. We recommend consulting your pharmacist or doctor before use, especially if you take prescription medications.
