Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product’s key ingredient, calcium, is well-studied for bone health. Our assessment: if you are looking to support bone density, calcium is a foundational nutrient, but it must be balanced with other factors. Data not available for the specific combination of turmeric, curcumin, and collagen in this product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body will leach it from your bones, which can weaken them over time [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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
Start by assessing your dietary calcium intake from food sources first. If you choose to supplement, do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision. Be aware of potential interactions with your medications. Data not available for the specific efficacy or safety of the turmeric, curcumin, and collagen combination in this product.
