Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product combines turmeric and coconut, but the specific health effects depend on the ingredients listed on the label. However, the data provided focuses on calcium, not turmeric or coconut. For calcium, our assessment is that it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. Without specific data on turmeric or coconut, we cannot assess their effects here.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones. It helps your body maintain bone density and supports proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the turmeric and coconut components in this product, data on their specific mechanisms is not available from the provided information.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. Based on the calcium data, 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]. For turmeric and coconut specifically, side effect data is not available from the provided information.
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the product label for exact dosages of turmeric and coconut. If you are taking calcium supplements separately, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Start with a low dose and consult your healthcare provider, especially if you take any medications. For turmeric and coconut benefits, data is not available to make a specific recommendation.
