Our assessment
The evidence shows that New Chapter Turmeric Force contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the specific amount of calcium in this product is not provided in the data. For general calcium guidance, the data confirms that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. You should be aware that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal messenger for your nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, 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
Data not available for the specific calcium dose in New Chapter Turmeric Force, so we cannot provide a precise intake recommendation. If you take this product, be mindful of your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. Because of the potential for high calcium intakes to increase health risks, you should consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of the medications listed above [NIH ODS].
