Our assessment
The evidence shows that Health Direct AminoSculpt Collagen Peptides Cherry Flavor contains calcium as an ingredient. For this specific ingredient, we have data on its role in the body and potential risks. However, for the product itself as a collagen peptide supplement, data on its specific health benefits or risks is not available.
How it works
Calcium is a mineral that plays a critical role in your body. It supports bone mineralization—helping to build and maintain strong bone density—and it also supports neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for proper muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Regarding safety, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements in their database. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very 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]. You should also be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because data on the specific benefits and side effects of the Health Direct AminoSculpt Collagen Peptides product is not available, we cannot make a recommendation for its use. If you are taking any of the medications listed above, consult your doctor before using a calcium-containing supplement. Always check with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
