Hyalogic Beauty from Within HA Collagen Peptides

Our assessment

The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Data on the specific collagen peptides in this product is not available from the provided sources. Our assessment is that while calcium has well-documented benefits, the high number of adverse event reports associated with calcium supplements in general requires careful consideration before use.

How it works

Calcium acts as a master builder for your body. It supports bone density through bone mineralization and helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the key mineral for keeping your skeletal system strong and your neuromuscular system functioning smoothly.

Safety profile

FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for this product's ingredient category. 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]. Some research also suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

You should be cautious with this supplement. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Because data on the specific collagen peptides is not available, we cannot recommend this product for that purpose. If you are considering it for calcium, speak with your healthcare provider first to determine if you actually need a calcium supplement and to review potential medication interactions.
