How it works
Calcium in this supplement supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and mineral deposition. It also aids in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
You should be cautious with calcium intake. Some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the 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 also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on specific dosing for Crystal Star Turmeric Complex. We recommend you consult with your healthcare provider before taking this supplement, especially if you take prescription medications. Be aware of your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements, to avoid exceeding safe levels [NIH ODS].
