A children's cough syrup containing a negligible amount of turmeric, rendering it ineffective as a turmeric supplement for any health goals.

Analysis

This product is a children's cough syrup, designed to alleviate cough symptoms with ingredients like honey, marshmallow root, and English ivy. While it technically lists 'Turmeric Root Extract' in its ingredients, the quantity (11mg) is extremely small and therapeutically insignificant for the typical benefits associated with turmeric, such as anti-inflammatory action or joint support. Therefore, assessing its performance against turmeric-related health goals is inappropriate. It should be evaluated as a cough syrup, not a turmeric supplement.

Pros
  • May provide relief for cough symptoms in children, its intended purpose.
  • Contains other beneficial ingredients for cough relief like honey and herbal extracts.
Cons
  • Contains an extremely low and therapeutically insignificant dose of turmeric (11mg) for the stated goals.
  • Misleadingly categorized as a turmeric supplement for general health, joint, digestive, anti-inflammatory, or metabolism support.
  • Not intended or formulated to provide turmeric-specific health benefits.
Warnings
  • This product is a cough syrup and should not be relied upon for turmeric-related health benefits. Consult a pediatrician for appropriate dosing and use.
  • Not a suitable alternative for individuals seeking therapeutic benefits from turmeric supplementation.

Categories
Turmeric 5.0
While it contains turmeric, its primary function is not as a turmeric supplement, and the amount of turmeric is so low that it is virtually irrelevant for any turmeric-specific health category.
Goals
General Health 0.0
The 11mg of turmeric is an insignificant dose and will not contribute to general health benefits typically associated with turmeric.
Joint Health 0.0
This product's turmeric content is far too low to provide any discernible effect on joint health or inflammation.
Digestive Health 0.0
The negligible amount of turmeric extract means it will have no meaningful impact on digestive health.
