Our assessment
The evidence shows that while this product contains clove, the data provided is for calcium, not clove. Based on the ingredient calcium, our assessment is that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health, but you need to be cautious with dosing. The data for the specific Herb Pharm Clove product is limited in this report [Data not available].
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization and density. Think of it as a structural building block for your skeleton. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total calcium intake from food and supplements. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend discussing your specific health needs with your doctor before starting any new supplement, as data for this specific product is not available.
