Terra Origin Organic Turmeric Blend Chai
Brand: Terra Origin · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. For a general audience seeking wellness support, calcium is well-studied, but the specific benefits of this turmeric blend chai product depend entirely on the calcium content in each serving, which is not provided here [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key signaling molecule for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and density, and helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, for calcium supplements generally, very high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood levels of calcium 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]. The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Before using this supplement, check the label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. If you are taking bisphosphonates, tetracycline or fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, take this product at least two hours apart from those medications to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS]. For most adults, aim to get your calcium from food first, and only supplement to fill any gap confirmed by a healthcare provider.
