New Chapter Turmeric Force
Brand: New Chapter · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in New Chapter Turmeric Force is calcium, based on the available data. We cannot assess turmeric-specific benefits because no data on turmeric was provided. For calcium, the data supports its role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that high calcium intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal conductor for your nerves. It supports bone density by aiding mineral deposition and helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Without sufficient calcium, your body may leach it from your bones, weakening them over time.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. High calcium levels in your 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 supplements may also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available to make a specific recommendation for New Chapter Turmeric Force. If you are taking this product for its calcium content, be cautious not to exceed the RDA from all sources combined. Discuss with your doctor if you take any of the listed medications to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS]. Without turmeric-specific data, we cannot comment on its effectiveness for inflammation or joint health.
