Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, which is essential for bone health, but the data on collagen itself is not provided in the available information. Our assessment is that while calcium is a critical mineral, its benefits must be weighed against potential risks, especially at high intakes. You should not rely on this supplement without understanding the total calcium you already get from your diet [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium works primarily through bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition in your skeleton. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific reports for this product are not isolated. For calcium, high intakes may 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you do not take this supplement without first evaluating your total daily calcium intake from food and other sources. If you are considering it, consult your doctor to check your calcium levels and review any medications you take. Data on the collagen component of this specific product is not available, so its benefits cannot be confirmed [NIH ODS].
