Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product's key ingredient, calcium, is well-studied for bone health, but you should be aware of important safety considerations. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential, you need to be cautious with supplementation due to potential risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block and a messenger. It supports bone density through a process called bone mineralization and helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement products. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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 [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
We recommend you get your calcium primarily from food sources. If you do supplement, do not exceed the recommended daily allowance without consulting your healthcare provider, especially if you take any of the medications listed above [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific hemp and turmeric blend in this product is not available.
