Garden of Life Grass Fed Collagen Beauty Strawberry Lemonade Flavor
Brand: Garden of Life · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Garden of Life Grass Fed Collagen Beauty Strawberry Lemonade Flavor contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data does not provide specific amounts of calcium in this product, so its actual contribution to your daily needs is unclear. Based on the available information, we cannot make a strong recommendation for this specific product for collagen or beauty benefits, as the primary documented ingredient is calcium, not collagen [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium plays a critical role in your body as a master regulator for bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, which is important for muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without specific ingredient amounts, it is difficult to assess how this product will affect these functions.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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 several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on side effects specific to this product is not available.
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the product label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. If you are using this product for its collagen content, note that the data provided only confirms calcium as an ingredient, and no studies on collagen or beauty benefits are available from the provided data. For calcium supplementation, the data does not provide a recommended daily allowance for this product. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take medications that interact with calcium [NIH ODS].
