Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary ingredient in Solaray Turmeric is turmeric, but the data provided does not include specific studies or detailed findings on turmeric itself. Our assessment is based on the available data for calcium, which is listed in the NIH ODS section, but this supplement is labeled as turmeric. Therefore, we cannot make a definitive assessment about turmeric's efficacy for general health from this data set.
How it works
For the ingredient calcium, which is present in the data, it acts as a master regulator for bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. For turmeric specifically, data on how it works is not available in the provided information.
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements in the database. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. For turmeric, specific side effects and report counts are not available in the provided data.

We recommend consulting a healthcare provider for personalized advice, as the provided data does not contain sufficient information to support a clear recommendation for this product.
