Exir USA Balance Turmeric Curcumin

Our assessment

The evidence shows that Exir USA Balance Turmeric Curcumin contains calcium as its primary active ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for bone health, the data available does not provide specific dosage information for this product, and there are important safety considerations you should be aware of [NIH ODS].

How it works

Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain bone density. Additionally, it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation, which means it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific data for this product is not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

Because the label for Exir USA Balance Turmeric Curcumin does not specify the amount of calcium per serving, we cannot provide a specific dosing recommendation. You should consult with your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of the medications listed above. If you choose to use it, monitor for the side effects noted and consider getting your calcium levels checked [NIH ODS].
