Our assessment
The evidence shows that while calcium is essential for your health, you should be cautious with supplementation. Our assessment is that calcium from food sources is generally preferred, as high intakes from supplements carry certain risks. Data not available for the specific product "Nutrina Turmeric" — we are basing this analysis on the ingredient calcium [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block and a messenger for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through a process called bone mineralization, and it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for products in this category [FDA data]. Some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in your 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].
Our recommendation
You should aim to get your calcium from food first. If you do take a supplement, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you take any of these medications. For the specific product "Nutrina Turmeric," data on dosage and exact formulation is not available [NIH ODS].
