Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, which is essential for bone health. However, the data provided does not include specific information about the turmeric content or its effects. We must focus solely on the calcium ingredient listed in the data [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from high blood calcium levels include 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific turmeric dosage or efficacy. For calcium, be aware that it can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of these medications.
