Kyolic Kyolic Blood Sugar Balance
Brand: Kyolic · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Kyolic Kyolic Blood Sugar Balance contains Calcium as an active ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, its role in blood sugar balance is not directly supported by the data provided. You should be aware that the primary function of calcium is in bone health and nerve signaling, not glucose metabolism [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a nerve signal regulator. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. The data does not describe a mechanism for how calcium in this product would affect your blood sugar levels directly.
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, but the specific report count for Kyolic Kyolic Blood Sugar Balance is not provided in the data. For calcium specifically, high intakes may 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the data does not provide specific evidence linking calcium in this product to blood sugar management, we cannot recommend Kyolic Kyolic Blood Sugar Balance for that purpose based on the information available. You should consult your healthcare provider to discuss your blood sugar goals and to check if calcium supplements are appropriate for you, especially given the potential medication interactions and side effects [NIH ODS]. Data on the product's specific effectiveness for blood sugar balance is not available.
