How it works
Think of calcium as a builder and messenger for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to keep your skeleton dense and strong, and it plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, aiding muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available. Based on the calcium data, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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].
Our recommendation
Before taking this product, you should consult with your healthcare provider to determine if additional calcium is right for you, especially since calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Without a specific dose on the label, it is not possible to give a confident daily recommendation. Data not available for the exact dosage of garlic oil or calcium in this specific product.
