Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product, Perfect Supplements Perfect Hydrolyzed Collagen, contains calcium as an ingredient. Based on the data provided, calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, we must be clear: the data does not provide specific details on the amount of calcium in this product, the type of collagen used, or any studies directly testing this supplement. Our assessment is that while calcium is a necessary mineral, you should not assume this product provides a complete or significant source of it without more information from the label.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density by aiding in mineral deposition and helps your muscles relax after contracting [NIH ODS]. If this product contains a meaningful amount of calcium, it could contribute to these functions, but the data does not confirm the dosage or bioavailability from this specific collagen supplement.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. Regarding calcium specifically, high intakes — such as from excessive supplementation — can lead to risks. The data shows that 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]. Some research also suggests high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Side effect counts from the FDA data are not specified for this product.
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the product label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. If you are already taking a calcium supplement or eating a calcium-rich diet, be cautious about adding this product without knowing the dosage. If you take any of the medications listed above, take this supplement at least two hours apart from them [NIH ODS]. For general bone health, we recommend getting calcium from food sources first, as the data does not confirm the efficacy of this specific collagen product. Data on dosage, studies, and specific side effects for this product is not available.
