Codeage Fermented Turmeric
Brand: Codeage · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Codeage Fermented Turmeric contains calcium as a key ingredient, but data on the fermented turmeric itself is limited. For the calcium component, the data supports its role in bone density, but you should be aware of significant risks at high intakes [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a regulator for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization and helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, specific mechanism data for fermented turmeric is not available.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in 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 reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should be cautious with this product due to the potential for high calcium intake. Start by checking your total daily calcium from all sources, including food. Data for the fermented turmeric component is not available, so we cannot assess its specific benefits or risks. Consult your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you take prescription medications [NIH ODS].
