Our assessment
The evidence shows that New Chapter Fermented Turmeric Tablets contain calcium, but data on the turmeric ingredient itself is not available. Based on the calcium content, this supplement may support bone health, but you need to be aware of specific risks and medication interactions. The FDA has received 592059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available [FDA data].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for maintaining strong bones as you age. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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 reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the recommended daily allowance without medical supervision. If you take any medications listed above, take this supplement at least two hours apart from them. Consult your doctor before starting, especially if you have kidney issues or a history of heart disease [NIH ODS].
