Our assessment
The evidence shows that Gaia Herbs Turmeric Supreme Extra Strength is a dietary supplement, but the data provided does not include specific information about turmeric or its ingredients. The only ingredient data available is for calcium, which is not listed in the product's ingredient section. Therefore, our assessment must focus on the calcium data provided, as no other ingredient information is supplied. Our assessment: Based on the available data, this product's specific health effects cannot be evaluated. Data not available for turmeric or other ingredients.
How it works
For calcium, the mechanism involves bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition, as well as neuromuscular relaxation to support muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of calcium as a key building block for your skeleton and a regulator for nerve and muscle function. However, this product's label does not list calcium as an ingredient, so this mechanism may not apply to Gaia Herbs Turmeric Supreme Extra Strength.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, side effects from high intakes include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. High calcium intakes might also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Since calcium is not listed on the product label, these side effects may not be relevant to this specific supplement. Data not available for side effects of turmeric or other ingredients in this product.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Because the data provided only includes information on calcium—an ingredient not listed on the label for Gaia Herbs Turmeric Supreme Extra Strength—we cannot make a specific recommendation for this product. You should consult the product label directly for a full list of ingredients and their amounts. For any supplement, always discuss with your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you take medications, as calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available for specific turmeric interactions or benefits.
