Our assessment
The evidence shows that Health Direct AminoSculpt Collagen Peptides Cherry Flavor provides calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment: calcium is essential for bone health, but you should be aware of its specific benefits and risks. Data on the exact amount of calcium per serving is not available, so you cannot rely on this product as a primary calcium source without checking the label [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization to maintain bone density and helps with neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it assists your muscles in relaxing and your nerves in signaling properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, though specific report counts for this product are not available. Regarding calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels in the blood 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
Check the product label for the exact calcium content per serving. If you are taking any of the medications listed, take this supplement at least two hours apart from them. Do not exceed the recommended daily allowance for calcium from all sources without consulting your doctor, as high intakes carry significant risks [NIH ODS].
