Herb Pharm Turmeric
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
Our assessment: Based on the data provided, this product contains Calcium, not Turmeric. We cannot evaluate the Turmeric component because data for that ingredient is not available. The evidence for Calcium shows it supports bone density and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of Calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signal messenger for your muscles. It supports bone mineralization and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For Calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Because the label lists "Turmeric" but the only ingredient data provided is for Calcium, you should verify the actual product label to confirm what you are taking. If you are taking this for calcium, be aware of the medication interactions and do not exceed recommended intakes without medical supervision [NIH ODS].
