Our assessment
The evidence shows that Kyolic GABA, Vitamin B1, B6, & B12 is a combination supplement, but data for the specific product is limited. For the ingredient calcium, which is often included in similar formulas, our assessment is that it supports bone health when used appropriately [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder — it supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the B vitamins in this product, specific mechanisms for the combination are not detailed in the provided data.
