Planetary Herbals Full Spectrum Turmeric
Brand: Planetary Herbals · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is a turmeric supplement, but the key active ingredient for which we have data is calcium. You should not expect significant health benefits from the calcium content in this formula unless it is specifically formulated to provide a meaningful dose. Data on turmeric itself is not available in our provided data set.
How it works
Calcium plays a critical role in your body as a mineral for bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, aiding in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not available. Regarding calcium, 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you carefully check the label to see how much calcium this product provides per serving. If you are taking any of the listed medications, take this supplement at a different time of day. For turmeric-specific benefits, data is not available to support a recommendation from this analysis. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement.
