MegaFood Turmeric Strength For Whole Body
Brand: MegaFood · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that MegaFood Turmeric Strength For Whole Body, while marketed for whole-body wellness, contains calcium as its primary active ingredient based on the data provided. Our assessment is that this product may help support bone health, but the data does not support claims about turmeric or other ingredients for which information is not available. We recommend you verify the specific label for a complete ingredient list.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, because the data for other ingredients in this product is not available, we cannot describe their mechanisms or benefits.
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effect reports for this product. However, based on the calcium content, the FDA has received 592059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to proceed with caution. Because the data for the turmeric and other whole-body ingredients is not available, we cannot confirm the product's full benefits or risks. If you choose to take this supplement, check the label for the exact calcium dosage and ensure it does not exceed your total daily needs from food and other supplements. Consult your doctor before starting, especially if you take any of the medications listed above or have a history of kidney stones or heart disease [NIH ODS].
