New Chapter Turmeric Force
Brand: New Chapter · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, we cannot make a specific assessment of "New Chapter Turmeric Force" because the data provided only covers the ingredient calcium, not turmeric or the specific formula. Data on the product’s intended benefits is not available. For calcium, the data confirms it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural architect for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. If you are taking this product for its calcium content, these are the primary mechanisms at work.
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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
Because the data does not provide specifics on the turmeric or the full formula, our recommendation is limited. If you are taking this for calcium, you should be aware of the potential risks and medication interactions. Do not exceed the RDA for calcium without medical supervision. Always check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding this to your regimen, especially if you take any prescription medications [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific benefits and side effects of this product is not available.
