Our assessment
The evidence shows that this Ormus Minerals Turmeric 475 mg supplement contains calcium as a key ingredient, but data on its other active components is not available. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for bone health, you should be aware of its potential risks and interactions before adding this to your routine [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body’s structure and signaling. It supports bone mineralization and density, which is critical for maintaining strong bones as you age. Additionally, calcium plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels in your blood or urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you only take this supplement if you are certain you need additional calcium, as most people meet their requirements through diet. Because calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, you should take this supplement at least two hours apart from those drugs [NIH ODS]. Start with a low dose and monitor for side effects like constipation or nausea. If you have a history of kidney stones or heart disease, consult your doctor first [NIH ODS].
