How it works
Calcium works in your body as a key mineral for bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, though the specific number for this product is not available. For calcium, the data indicates that high 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific dosage recommendation for this turmeric product. However, regarding the calcium content, you should be cautious about total calcium intake from all sources. If you take bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, calcium can reduce their absorption, so separate dosing by at least 2 hours is advised [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement.
