Sundown Naturals Odorless Garlic
Brand: Sundown Naturals · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that Sundown Naturals Odorless Garlic is a supplement with a well-known active ingredient, but the specific data provided focuses on calcium, not garlic. You should know that the brand is listed as "See label" and the only ingredient data available is for calcium, not garlic [NIH ODS]. For this reason, we cannot make a specific assessment on the garlic content or its benefits based on the data provided.
How it works
The data available describes how calcium works. It supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your bones stay dense and helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. No mechanism of action data is provided for garlic in this supplement.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For the calcium ingredient, 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 medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. No specific side effect report counts for garlic are available in the provided data.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Data not available for the garlic-specific content of this product. You should consult the product label for the exact ingredient list and dosage. Because the data provided does not include garlic-specific benefits, risks, or studies, we cannot recommend this product based on the information given. Always check with your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications [NIH ODS].
