BIOVEA Collagen plus Vitamin C
Brand: BIOVEA · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this supplement combines collagen with vitamin C, but the primary data we have applies to the calcium content listed on the label. Our assessment: for general bone health support, calcium is well-studied, but you should be aware of its specific risks and interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before adding this supplement to your routine.
