Our assessment
The evidence shows that Kyolic Formula 100 is a dietary supplement, but data specific to this product is limited. Based on the ingredient list, which includes calcium, our analysis focuses on this mineral. The data confirms that calcium is essential for bone health, but the safety profile requires careful attention [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block and a messenger. It supports bone mineralization and density by depositing minerals into your skeleton. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood levels 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you prioritize calcium from food sources first. If you choose a supplement, be aware that calcium can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. Data not available for specific dosage of this product. Consult your doctor before starting [NIH ODS].
