Natures Craft Turmeric Curcumin

Our assessment

The evidence shows that while Natures Craft Turmeric Curcumin is marketed as a supplement, the specific data provided does not contain information about turmeric or curcumin itself. Our assessment is based on the ingredient data available, which is for Calcium. You should know that the data for this product is incomplete, and we cannot make claims about turmeric or curcumin based on the provided information.

How it works

Based on the data provided, the relevant ingredient is Calcium. Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping with muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

Data not available for Natures Craft Turmeric Curcumin specifically. The total FDA adverse event reports across all supplements is 592,059 [FDA data]. For the ingredient Calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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].

Our recommendation

Our recommendation is to proceed with caution. Because the data provided does not include specific information on turmeric or curcumin, you should consult a healthcare provider before using this product. If you are taking any medications, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Without specific data on the intended active ingredients, we cannot confidently recommend this supplement.
