BIOVEA Collagen 750 mg
Brand: BIOVEA · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that BIOVEA Collagen 750 mg contains calcium as an ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for bone health, you need to be cautious with this supplement because the data does not provide specific information about the collagen component itself. Data for the calcium ingredient is available, but for the collagen product, data is not available regarding its specific benefits or mechanism.
How it works
Calcium works through two primary mechanisms: it supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your bone matrix, and it supports neuromuscular relaxation by aiding in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of calcium as a key building block for your skeleton and a vital signal for your nerves and muscles to communicate properly.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to be cautious with this product. Since data for the collagen component is not available, you cannot rely on it for collagen-specific benefits. If you are considering this for calcium, know that high intakes carry significant risks. We suggest you consult your healthcare provider before taking this supplement, especially if you take any of the medications listed above or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease [NIH ODS].
