Our assessment
The evidence shows that Puritan's Pride Curcuminoids From Turmeric is a supplement containing curcumin, the active compound in turmeric. However, based on the data provided, we cannot assess the specific benefits or risks of this product because the data exclusively covers a different ingredient: calcium. Data on curcuminoids or turmeric is not available in the provided information. For any supplement, you should always check the label for the exact ingredients and dosages.
How it works
Since the data provided only describes calcium, we can explain how calcium works, not curcumin. Calcium supports bone mineralization, which helps maintain bone density and proper mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, aiding muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For information on how curcuminoids work, data is not available in this report.

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]. No specific side effect report counts are available for this product.
