Omica Organics Turmeric Root Powder

Our assessment
The evidence shows that Omica Organics Turmeric Root Powder contains calcium, but data on the specific amount in this product is not available. Calcium is essential for bone health and nerve function, but we need to be cautious with supplementation because high intakes carry risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block and signaler for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high levels in your 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. Some research also suggests high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Because the exact calcium content in this turmeric product is not available, we cannot recommend it as a reliable source for meeting your calcium needs. If you are taking medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, be aware that calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Always check with your healthcare provider before adding any supplement to your routine.
