Kyolic Kyolic Cardio-Logic
Brand: Kyolic · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Kyolic Kyolic Cardio-Logic contains calcium as a key ingredient. For this mineral, our assessment is that while calcium is essential for bone health, the data suggests caution regarding high supplemental intake. Some research indicates that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. You need adequate calcium for your muscles to relax and your nerves to communicate properly.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high levels 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 also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you speak with a healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any prescription medications. Given the potential risks associated with high calcium intake, you should assess your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific benefits of this product for heart health is not available.
