Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral, but the specific product you asked about — Patient One MediNutritionals Turmeric Curcumin 1000 mg — does not contain calcium according to the data provided. Our assessment is based on the data for calcium as a standalone supplement. For this product, the ingredient list is noted as "See label," which means we cannot confirm whether calcium is present. Data not available for this specific product’s ingredient list.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a messenger for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and mineral deposition [NIH ODS]. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, aiding muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. These functions are essential for your daily movement and overall stability.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, though the number specific to calcium is not broken out. High calcium intake may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from high blood levels include 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 medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Since the product you asked about is Patient One MediNutritionals Turmeric Curcumin 1000 mg, and its ingredients are not fully detailed in the data provided, you should check the product label directly to see if calcium is included. If you are considering a calcium supplement separately, be cautious with high doses due to the potential risks and medication interactions [NIH ODS]. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
