Our assessment
The evidence shows that Herbal Terra Turmeric provides a source of Calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that while calcium is a well-studied nutrient, the specific formulation of this product means you should evaluate your total calcium intake from all sources to avoid exceeding safe levels [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This means it helps your muscles relax after contracting and supports communication between your nerves and body.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects of elevated blood calcium include nausea, constipation, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by assessing your total daily calcium from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the Tolerable Upper Intake Level without medical supervision. Take this supplement at a different time than thyroid medication or antibiotics to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
