Our assessment
The evidence shows that NeoLife Nutritionals Garlic Allium Complex contains calcium, but specific data on this product's clinical effects is not available. Our assessment is based on the calcium content found in the formula. Calcium is essential for bone health, but you should be aware of potential risks and interactions before starting this supplement [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signal messenger for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body will pull it from your bones to maintain these critical functions.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific side effect counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking the label for the exact calcium dose per serving. Take this supplement with food to support absorption, but avoid taking it at the same time as any of the medications listed above. Have your healthcare provider check your calcium levels before starting, especially if you have kidney issues or a history of heart disease. If you experience nausea, constipation, or extreme tiredness, stop use and consult your doctor [NIH ODS].
