Our assessment
The evidence shows that MegaFood Turmeric Strength For Whole Body contains Calcium, which plays a specific role in bone health. However, based on the data provided, we cannot evaluate the turmeric component of this supplement, as no data on turmeric was supplied. Our assessment focuses solely on the Calcium content.
How it works
Think of Calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. For you, this means maintaining strong bones and supporting normal muscle function.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all supplements. For Calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood and urine levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, fatigue, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check your total calcium intake from food and other supplements before adding this product. If you take prescription medications, especially those listed above, take this supplement at a different time of day to avoid interaction. Start with one serving and monitor how you feel.
