Brand: DC · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that DC Turmeric 800 mg contains calcium as a key ingredient, but we have no specific data on the turmeric component itself for this product. Calcium is essential for bone health, but the data does not confirm the benefits of this specific supplement for a general audience [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization, helping maintain bone density and mineral deposition. It also aids neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Data on how this specific turmeric product works is not available.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but report counts specific to DC Turmeric 800 mg are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might 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 need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend DC Turmeric 800 mg based on the data provided. The product's specific effects are not supported, and calcium supplements can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your doctor before use, as data on safety and efficacy is not available for this supplement.
