Our assessment
The evidence shows that Banyan Botanicals Turmeric Tonic, based on its listed ingredient calcium, does not have sufficient data to support a specific health benefit.

However, you should be aware that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones and nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
