Our assessment
The evidence shows that Dr. Clark Store Turmeric 500 mg is a product with limited data available for a direct assessment. Our analysis must focus on the ingredient calcium, which is listed in the product's ingredient data, though the specific amount in this turmeric product is not provided. For general calcium intake, the RDA for most adults is 1,000 mg to 1,200 mg daily [NIH ODS]. However, without knowing the calcium content in this specific turmeric supplement, we cannot confirm if it contributes meaningfully to your daily needs.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural support for your body. It is essential for bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and strength [NIH ODS]. Calcium also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high blood calcium levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend caution with this product. Because the calcium content is not specified, you cannot accurately track your total calcium intake. If you are taking this turmeric supplement, do not take additional calcium supplements without consulting your healthcare provider, as excessive calcium carries significant risks [NIH ODS]. For reliable calcium sources, consider food first or a standalone calcium supplement with a clearly stated dosage. Always check with your doctor or pharmacist about potential interactions with your current medications [NIH ODS].
