Our assessment
The evidence shows that Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract is a well-studied supplement, but the specific product you asked about includes lecithin and garlic. Our assessment here focuses on the calcium content listed on the label. The data confirms that calcium is essential for bone health, but you should be aware of potential risks if you take this product alongside other calcium sources [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in nerve signaling. It supports bone density and mineralization, and also helps with muscle relaxation and nerve function [NIH ODS]. The garlic component is not covered in the provided data for this specific analysis.
Safety profile
The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. The data warns that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium can cause 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 by reviewing your total daily calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. The data notes that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. If you take any of these, separate your calcium dose by at least two hours. For the specific side effect report count for this product, data is not available. Consult your pharmacist or doctor to ensure this supplement is right for you.
