Brand: Healthy Choice Naturals · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Healthy Choice Naturals Turmeric 1000 mg contains calcium as an ingredient. Our assessment: You should be aware that while calcium is essential for bone health, the specific benefits and risks of this product depend entirely on the calcium content provided. Data on turmeric itself is not available in this report.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization and density, and helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might 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 also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking how much calcium you already get from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision. If you take any prescription medications, especially for thyroid conditions, osteoporosis, or infections, take this supplement at a different time of day to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
