Brand: Good 'N Natural · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment: if you are considering this supplement for its calcium content, it is important to know that the data on calcium is mixed. While it supports bone density and nerve signaling, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain strong bones, and it aids in neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high levels in your 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
Given the potential risks associated with high calcium intake, our recommendation is to be cautious. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake without consulting your doctor. If you take any of the listed medications, separate your calcium dose by at least two hours to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific effects of "hydrolyzed collagen" in this product is not available.
