Our assessment
The evidence for Premier Research Labs Premier Fermented Turmeric Plus is limited by the data provided. The primary ingredient listed in the available data is calcium, not turmeric. Our assessment is that this product’s effects are largely unknown based on the current information. You should be aware that calcium is present, and its effects are well-documented, but the specific turmeric component is not described in the data we have.
How it works
Based on the data for calcium, a key ingredient, it supports bone mineralization by helping your body deposit minerals into bone tissue, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation by supporting proper nerve signaling and muscle function [NIH ODS]. The specific mechanism of the fermented turmeric in this product is not available from the provided data.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data]. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood or urine 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]. Data not available for side effects specific to fermented turmeric.
Our recommendation
We cannot make a confident recommendation for this specific product due to missing data on its primary ingredient, turmeric. If you are considering this supplement for its turmeric content, data on dose, efficacy, and side effects are not available. For the calcium component, be aware of potential interactions: calcium can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this product.
