Banyan Botanicals Turmeric
Brand: Banyan Botanicals · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Banyan Botanicals Turmeric, as a brand, does not have a specific data profile available. However, the supplement contains calcium, and our assessment is based on that ingredient. Calcium is a well-studied mineral, but its benefits come with important safety considerations you need to be aware of [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signaler for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping deposit minerals to maintain bone density, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for proper muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all products, though specific reports for this brand are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific recommendation on Banyan Botanicals Turmeric. However, based on the calcium content, you should be cautious if you take any of the medications listed above. Do not exceed the recommended daily allowance without medical supervision, as high intakes carry significant risks [NIH ODS].
