Our assessment
The evidence shows that Millecor Turmeric with BioPerine contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, you should be aware that the data on calcium supplementation includes important risks that require your attention [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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
Data not available on the specific dosage of calcium in Millecor Turmeric with BioPerine. You should check the label for the exact amount and consult your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you take any of the medications listed above or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease [NIH ODS].
