Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, which is essential for bone health. However, the data is limited regarding the specific benefits of the collagen blend itself for this product. For calcium, the primary role is supporting bone mineralization and density [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in nerve signaling. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it is also involved in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. 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
Our assessment: Be cautious with calcium intake from supplements. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available for the specific collagen blend's efficacy. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement.
