How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement products, though specific reports for this product are not available. Regarding calcium, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on recommended dosage or specific benefits for this product. Before taking Mega Turmeric 670, we recommend you check with your healthcare provider, especially if you take any of the medications listed above.
