Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for your body, but it requires careful management. Our assessment: Calcium is best obtained from food sources first, with supplementation used only when dietary intake is insufficient. The data does not provide specific details on this turmeric product’s calcium content, so we must focus on the ingredient generally [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block and a cellular messenger. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it is essential for muscle relaxation and nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific data for this product is not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels in the blood 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 also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the specific dosage of calcium in this turmeric product. Our recommendation: Do not combine this supplement with other calcium sources without calculating your total daily intake. If you take thyroid medication or antibiotics, separate them from any calcium supplement by at least 4 hours [NIH ODS].
