The evidence shows that Gaia Herbs Turmeric Supreme Sinus Support contains calcium, a mineral critical for bone health.

Our assessment is that while calcium is essential, you should not rely on this supplement for sinus relief without further evidence.
How it works
Calcium in this formula supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, which helps maintain bone density and muscle function [NIH ODS]. Data on how the turmeric and other sinus support ingredients work together is not available.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available.
