Brand: BIOVEA · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that BIOVEA Collagen plus Vitamin C contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data on calcium is nuanced, and the risks associated with high intake require careful consideration. We cannot assess the collagen or vitamin C components specifically, as data for those ingredients is not available in the provided information.
How it works
Calcium in this product acts as a master regulator for your body's structural framework. It supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain strong bone density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation by supporting proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all products in its database, though this number is not specific to this supplement. Regarding calcium, data indicates that high intakes might 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 urination, 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
We recommend you consult with your healthcare provider before taking this supplement, especially if you take any medications or have a history of kidney issues or heart disease. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label without professional guidance, as the risks of high calcium intake are significant [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
