MegaFood Turmeric Strength For Liver
Brand: MegaFood · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that MegaFood Turmeric Strength For Liver contains calcium, but data on its specific turmeric and liver support ingredients is not available. Based on the calcium content, this product may support bone health, but its primary claim of liver support cannot be evaluated with the provided data.
How it works
Calcium is a mineral that acts as a master regulator for bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all supplements in this category. For calcium specifically, 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 reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the turmeric and liver-specific ingredients of this product. For calcium, you should be aware of potential medication interactions and avoid exceeding recommended intake levels. Without data on this product's primary liver support ingredients, we cannot make a confident recommendation for its intended use [NIH ODS].
