Herbal Hills Turmeric
Brand: Herbal Hills · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary ingredient in Herbal Hills Turmeric is not turmeric, but rather calcium. Based on the data provided, this product is a calcium supplement. For general health, the data confirms that calcium is critical for bone density and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware of the specific risks and limitations associated with calcium intake.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural and signaling mineral. It works by supporting bone mineralization and density, which is essential for a strong skeleton. Additionally, it plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for this product category. Specific risks include that 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the data identifies the ingredient as calcium and not turmeric, you should treat this product as a calcium supplement. Data not available on the exact dosage per serving. Before taking this, we recommend reviewing your total calcium intake from all sources, including food. Also, check with your doctor or pharmacist about potential interactions with any medications you take, especially antibiotics and thyroid medication [NIH ODS].
