Our assessment
The evidence shows that Natures Plus Collagen Peptides contains calcium as an ingredient.

How it works
Calcium functions as a key mineral for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is essential for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the primary building block for maintaining strong skeletal structure.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in your 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific dosage recommendation for this product. We recommend you consult with your healthcare provider to determine if calcium supplementation is appropriate for you, especially if you take any medications listed above.
