Data regarding the specific benefits, mechanisms, and safety of this turmeric extract are not available in the provided materials.
How it works

However, the data provided for calcium describes a different mechanism: calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. This information does not apply to the curcumin product you asked about.
Safety profile
Data on the safety of Life Extension Super Bio-Curcumin Turmeric Extract is not available in the provided FDA adverse event data. The total adverse event reports across all supplements number 592,059 [FDA data], but these are not broken down by product.

These side effects are not reported for the curcumin product you asked about.
