Our assessment
The evidence shows that a combined turmeric and ginger supplement, like ProCaps Laboratories Turmeric 200 Ginger Root 200, is not supported by the specific data provided. Data for turmeric and ginger is not available in this dataset. However, the label lists calcium as an ingredient, and our assessment focuses on what the data tells us about that component. You should be aware that the calcium in this product may interact with other medications you take [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through bone mineralization, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though the specific number for this product is not available. For the calcium component, some research suggests that high 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available for turmeric and ginger, so our recommendation is based on the calcium content. You should be cautious with calcium supplements because they can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Before taking this product, consult your healthcare provider to review your total calcium intake from all sources and any medications you take. The specific benefits of turmeric and ginger for this product cannot be assessed from the provided data.
