Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, based on the data provided, we cannot assess the specific benefits or risks of this turmeric product, as the ingredient information is incomplete. We can only discuss the calcium component. For bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, calcium plays a key role [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your bones and a signal carrier for your nerves. It supports bone density by depositing into the bone matrix, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 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]. Very high blood calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the label and ingredient data for this specific turmeric product are incomplete, we cannot make a specific recommendation for it. Data not available for the turmeric component. For calcium, you should not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision, and always take calcium supplements separately from the medications listed above [NIH ODS].
