Planetary Herbals Full Spectrum Turmeric
Brand: Planetary Herbals · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence for Planetary Herbals Full Spectrum Turmeric is based on the data for its key ingredient, calcium, as listed on the label. The data shows that calcium supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, the product is named for turmeric, and no specific data on turmeric’s effects or dosage was provided. You should be cautious about relying on this supplement for turmeric-related benefits, as data is not available for that ingredient.
How it works
The ingredient calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your skeleton, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a key building block for your bones and a calming signal for your muscles.
Safety profile
The safety profile is based on calcium. High calcium intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, nausea, weight loss, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Data is not available on the turmeric content of this product, so we cannot assess its effectiveness for that purpose. If you are taking this for calcium, be aware it can reduce the absorption of medications like antibiotics and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. Consult your doctor before use, especially if you take prescription medications. For turmeric-specific benefits, we cannot make a confident recommendation based on the data provided.
