Gaia Herbs Curcumin Synergy Turmeric Supreme Pain P.M.
Brand: Gaia Herbs Curcumin Synergy · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains Calcium as an active ingredient. For a general audience looking for a nighttime pain formula, the calcium content is notable for its role in neuromuscular relaxation, which may support muscle unwinding at night [NIH ODS]. However, data on the specific synergistic blend of this product is limited to what is provided.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key signaling molecule for your muscles and nerves. It supports neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles to release tension and your nervous system to calm down, which is why it's included in a "Pain P.M." formula [NIH ODS]. It also plays a critical role in bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for side effects specific to this product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, but report counts for this specific product are not provided [FDA data]. Regarding calcium, some research suggests that high intakes might 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]. You should also be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you are considering this product for nighttime pain relief, we recommend you first consult your healthcare provider, especially if you take any of the medications listed above. Be cautious not to exceed your total daily calcium intake from all sources (diet and supplements), as high levels carry significant risks [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific efficacy of this blend for pain is not available, so focus on the known safety profile of calcium.
