Our assessment: without specific turmeric data, we cannot make a definitive claim about this product's efficacy.
How it works

No mechanism data for turmeric or Meriva is present in the supplied data. Data on how the active compounds in turmeric (like curcumin) work is not available.
Safety profile
Safety data for turmeric specifically is not available in the provided information. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but this number is not specific to turmeric [FDA data]. The safety information provided is for calcium, noting that high levels can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation
Because the data provided does not include specific information on turmeric or the Meriva formulation, we cannot offer a recommendation for this product.
