Healthy Choice Naturals Turmeric 1000 mg
Brand: Healthy Choice Naturals · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains 1000 mg of turmeric, but the critical data provided is for calcium, not turmeric. Based strictly on the data available, we cannot assess turmeric’s benefits. However, the calcium data is relevant for general bone health, and we must apply it carefully here. Our assessment: Do not rely on this supplement for turmeric-specific benefits based on the provided data.
How it works
Based on the data for calcium, this mineral acts as a master regulator for your skeleton and nervous system. It supports bone mineralization and density, and helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. For turmeric, data is not available.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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 reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. For turmeric-specific side effects, data is not available.
Our recommendation
Since data on turmeric itself is not available, we cannot recommend this product for turmeric benefits. If you are taking calcium for bone health, the data shows you should be cautious with high doses and check for interactions with medications [NIH ODS]. For turmeric, data is not available — do not speculate. Speak with your doctor before using this supplement.
