Our assessment
The evidence shows that BodyTech CLA Carnitine Collagen Tropical Candy contains calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment is that calcium is a well-established mineral for bone health, but you need to be aware of its specific dosage, interactions, and potential risks before taking this supplement [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium plays two major roles in your body. First, it supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and deposit minerals into your skeleton. Second, it aids neuromuscular relaxation, supporting proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data on total adverse events for this specific product is not available. However, the FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, the safety profile includes important cautions: high calcium 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because specific dosage information for the calcium in this product is not available, we cannot recommend a precise intake level. You should check the product label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. If you take any of the medications listed above (bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin), take this supplement at least two hours apart from those medications. For personalized advice on calcium intake, consult your healthcare provider [NIH ODS].
