AN Amazing Nutrition Amazing Formulas Boswellia Extract & Turmeric

Our assessment

The evidence shows that this combination supplement contains Calcium, a mineral with well-documented roles in bone health. However, the data does not provide specific information on the Boswellia Extract or Turmeric ingredients in this product. For the Calcium component, the data confirms a clear role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular function [NIH ODS]. You should be aware that high calcium intakes may carry risks, and the data on the other ingredients is not available for a complete evaluation.

How it works

Think of Calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for maintaining a strong skeleton. Additionally, it plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after activity [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products, though specific reports for this exact combination are not available. For the Calcium ingredient, some research suggests 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

Before taking this supplement, you should check if you already get enough Calcium from your diet, as the RDA is 1,000-1,200 mg daily for most adults. Be cautious about exceeding this amount from supplements, as the data shows potential risks from high intakes [NIH ODS]. If you take any of the listed medications, separate your supplement and medication by at least 2 hours, but consult your doctor first. Data on the Boswellia and Turmeric components is not available, so we cannot assess their specific effects or safety.
