Our assessment
The evidence shows that BioSchwartz Turmeric Joint & Muscle contains calcium, a mineral with well-documented benefits for bone health. However, you should be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with calcium supplementation before adding it to your routine [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is essential for maintaining strong bones. Additionally, calcium plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
