Natural Nutra Tart Cherry with Turmeric
Brand: Natural Nutra · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product combines two distinct ingredients, but the available data focuses only on one of them: calcium. For the specific formulation of tart cherry with turmeric, data on efficacy and safety is not available. Our assessment is that you should approach this supplement with caution, as the combination lacks specific clinical evidence for its intended use.
How it works
Calcium, one of the ingredients in this product, is critical for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation. It helps support bone density and mineral deposition, and it plays a role in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Data for how tart cherry or turmeric specifically work in this combination is not available.
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high 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]. Side effects for the tart cherry and turmeric combination are not available.
Our recommendation
Given the lack of specific data for this combination product, we recommend you prioritize getting calcium from food sources. If you choose to take this supplement, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any prescription medications.
