Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product combines two well-studied ingredients: aged garlic extract and vitamin D3. However, the primary data provided focuses on calcium, not the specific ingredients in this product. For calcium, the data confirms it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. Because the specific data for aged garlic extract and vitamin D3 is not included here, our assessment is limited to the calcium data available.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder — it supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the specific mechanisms of aged garlic extract and vitamin D3, data is not available in the provided information.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from excessive calcium include 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].
Our recommendation
Start with the recommended dosage on the product label. Be aware that calcium can reduce absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. If you take any of these medications, separate your supplement intake by at least two hours.
