How it works
Think of calcium as a structural foundation — it supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. The turmeric component in this product is often used for its antioxidant properties, though specific data for this combination is not available.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Symptoms of excessively high calcium levels include 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 absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your current calcium intake from food and other supplements. Since data on the exact calcium dose in this product is not available, you should consult your healthcare provider to ensure you are not exceeding the recommended daily intake. If you take any of the medications listed, separate your supplement by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. We recommend choosing a product with a clearly listed calcium dosage so you can manage your total intake safely.
