Brand: H-E-B · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that H-E-B Odorless Garlic Extract 1,000 mg is a supplement with very limited data provided for its specific formulation. Our assessment is based on the available information, which focuses on the ingredient calcium, not garlic. Data for this specific garlic product's efficacy is not available. You should be cautious when considering this supplement for any specific health purpose, as the core ingredient data provided does not support it.
How it works
For the ingredient calcium (which is not the primary ingredient in this garlic extract), the mechanism involves bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition, as well as neuromuscular relaxation to support muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, for garlic extract itself, no mechanism of action data was provided.
Safety profile
The total number of FDA adverse event reports across all supplements is 592,059, but no reports specific to this garlic extract product were provided. For the unrelated ingredient calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. Side effects specific to this garlic product are not available.
Our recommendation
Based on the data provided, we cannot recommend H-E-B Odorless Garlic Extract 1,000 mg for any specific use. The evidence does not support its benefits or safety profile. We suggest you consult with your healthcare provider before taking this supplement, as data on its effectiveness and risks are not available from the provided information.
