How it works
Think of calcium as a structural supporter for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is essential for keeping your skeleton strong [NIH ODS]. Additionally, it supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling, helping your muscles and nerves communicate effectively [NIH ODS].

FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for products in this category [FDA data]. For the calcium ingredient specifically, potential side effects include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine can also cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation
Start by checking the label of Garden of Life MyKind Organics Turmeric Boost for the exact amount of calcium per serving. Be mindful of your total daily calcium intake from all supplements and food, as high levels carry significant risks [NIH ODS]. If you take bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, consult your doctor because calcium can reduce the absorption of these medications [NIH ODS].
