ProCaps Laboratories Turmeric 400 Curcumin
Brand: ProCaps Laboratories · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary ingredient in ProCaps Laboratories Turmeric 400 Curcumin is turmeric, but the data provided is for the mineral calcium, not turmeric. Data not available for turmeric or curcumin specifically. For the calcium component, it supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones, where it supports bone mineralization and density. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, but specific report counts for this product are not available. High calcium intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from high blood calcium include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Start by confirming you actually need a calcium supplement, as many people get enough from diet. Calcium can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, so take it at least two hours apart from these medications [NIH ODS]. Data not available for turmeric or curcumin-specific dosing or benefits.
