How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in how your muscles and nerves communicate. If you are taking this for a garlic-related purpose, please note that data on garlic's mechanism is not available in the information provided.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available.

High blood and urine calcium levels 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 medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
