Our assessment
The evidence shows that Herbal Terra Turmeric is a supplement containing calcium. For general bone health, the data supports calcium's role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, we must be clear about the risks and limitations before you consider this product.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which helps keep your skeleton strong. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the exact calcium dosage in Herbal Terra Turmeric. Before taking this supplement, check with your doctor, especially if you take any of the medications listed above. If you do take calcium, keep your total intake from all sources within safe limits and monitor for side effects like constipation or nausea [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
