For the product Solgar Turmeric Root Extract, the available information does not support a direct efficacy or safety assessment for turmeric itself. Our assessment is that you should be cautious when supplementing with this product, as the only data we have pertains to the mineral calcium, which is not listed as an ingredient in this product. Data not available for turmeric-specific benefits or mechanisms from the provided sources.
How it works
Based strictly on the data provided, we cannot describe how turmeric root extract works. The mechanism data available is for calcium, which acts as a master regulator for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. Since calcium is not listed as an ingredient in this product, no mechanism of action can be confirmed for Solgar Turmeric Root Extract from the provided information.
