How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for maintaining strong bones as you age. Additionally, calcium plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for products in this category, though specific report counts for this exact product are not available [FDA data]. Safety data from the NIH shows 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the specific turmeric curcumin dosage in this product. However, for the calcium component, we recommend you take calcium supplements at least two hours apart from medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider to determine if this supplement is right for your individual health needs.
