Kyolic Kyolic Prostate-Logic
Brand: Kyolic · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains one key active ingredient with data available: Calcium. For prostate health specifically, the data is limited. While calcium is essential for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS], you should be aware that some research suggests high calcium intakes might increase the risk of prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Our assessment: we cannot recommend this product for prostate health based on the available data alone.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block — it supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. However, the specific mechanism for prostate health is not clearly established in the data provided. The product label lists Kyolic as a brand, but the precise role of its ingredient blend for prostate support is not detailed in the available information.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. 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
Data not available for a clear recommendation on this specific product. If you are considering this for prostate health, the data does not provide sufficient evidence to support its use. You should consult your physician before taking this supplement, especially if you take any medications that interact with calcium. For general bone health, calcium remains important, but the risks noted for prostate cancer require careful consideration [NIH ODS].
