Our assessment
The evidence shows that Garden of Life Multi-Sourced Collagen Turmeric Apple Cinnamon Flavor contains calcium, which is a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data available is limited to this single ingredient, and we do not have specific information on the other components of this product. Our assessment is that calcium from this supplement can support your bone density and muscle function, but you must be aware of the risks and interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body may leach it from your bones, weakening them over time.
Safety profile
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]. FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but the specific report count for this product is data not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
You should check with your healthcare provider before adding this supplement, especially if you take bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Stick to the recommended serving size on the label and do not exceed your total daily calcium intake from all sources, including food. If you have a history of kidney stones or heart disease, discuss this product with your doctor first [NIH ODS].
