Organic Aura Turmeric Powder

Our assessment

The evidence shows that Organic Aura Turmeric Powder, as a supplement, contains the mineral calcium based on the ingredient data provided. Our assessment is that calcium supports bone health and neuromuscular function, but you need to be aware of specific risks and interactions before adding this to your routine [NIH ODS].

How it works

Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton and a signal regulator for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization for density and helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

Data not available for adverse events specifically for this product. However, high calcium intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, though this number is not specific to this product [FDA data].

Our recommendation

Start by checking your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the Tolerable Upper Intake Level without medical supervision. If you take any medications, especially antibiotics or thyroid medication, take calcium at least two hours apart from them [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before use, particularly if you have a history of kidney stones, heart conditions, or prostate cancer concerns.
