Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is a turmeric supplement, but the data provided contains no specific information about turmeric itself. Our assessment is based on the ingredient calcium, which is listed in the provided data. For turmeric-specific benefits, data is not available. For the calcium content, the data supports that it plays a role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural cornerstone for your body. It supports bone density through bone mineralization and helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product or turmeric are not available. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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 medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data on turmeric-specific benefits is not available for this product. For the calcium component, you should be aware of the potential side effects and drug interactions. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications [NIH ODS].
