Our assessment
The evidence shows that Metagenics Ketogenic Collagen Naked contains calcium, a mineral with well-documented roles in bone health. Our assessment: this product can contribute to your daily calcium intake, but you must be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with calcium supplementation.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton and a key signaling molecule for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available specifically for this product from the provided FDA data. However, for calcium generally, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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 need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. The total number of adverse event reports across all supplement products in the FDA database is 592,059 [FDA data].
Our recommendation
If you take this product, be mindful of your total calcium intake from all sources (food and supplements) to avoid exceeding safe levels. You should take calcium supplements separately from the medications listed above by at least two hours. Given the potential for serious side effects at high doses, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting this product, especially if you have kidney issues, heart conditions, or take prescription medications.
