BodyTech CLA Carnitine Collagen Unflavored
Brand: BodyTech · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that BodyTech CLA Carnitine Collagen Unflavored contains calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for bone health, you need to be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with this mineral [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal conductor for your nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, based on the ingredient calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Start by checking the label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. If you take any medications, talk to your pharmacist about spacing them two hours apart from this supplement to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS]. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake without medical supervision.
