Organic India Turmeric Formula
Brand: Organic India · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Organic India Turmeric Formula contains calcium, which is a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that this product can be a useful supplement for supporting bone mineralization and muscle function, but you must be mindful of your total daily calcium intake from all sources to avoid exceeding safe levels [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, acting as a key structural component. Additionally, calcium plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports for products in this category. While calcium is essential, high intakes are a concern. Some research suggests 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].
Our recommendation
Start by calculating your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the recommended dietary allowance without a healthcare provider's guidance. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Take this supplement at a different time than these medications.
