Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral with well-documented benefits for bone health. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential, you need to be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with supplementation. Data not available for collagen-specific benefits in this product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This means it helps your bones stay strong and your muscles relax properly after contracting.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, safety data notes that 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].
Our recommendation
We recommend you do not exceed the daily calcium intake from all sources combined, as high levels carry serious risks. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your doctor before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of these medications. Data not available for a specific recommended dose for this product.
