H-E-B Odorless Garlic 1,000 mg
Brand: H-E-B · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that H-E-B Odorless Garlic 1,000 mg is a popular supplement, but the data we have is for a different ingredient: calcium. Data not available for garlic-specific benefits or mechanisms from the provided sources. For calcium, the data confirms a role in bone health, but you should be aware of significant safety considerations [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signaler — it supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [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 levels in 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Before taking any calcium supplement, review your total daily intake from food and other sources. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available for the garlic ingredient in this specific product, so consult your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice.
