Our assessment
The evidence shows that Opportuniteas Collagen Pure Unflavored contains calcium as an ingredient. Data on this specific product is limited, but we can assess the calcium component. For most adults, calcium plays a critical role in bone health, but it is not a substitute for a balanced diet [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in nerve function. It supports bone mineralization and density, and helps regulate muscle relaxation and nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, some research suggests 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] [FDA data]. 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 specific product dosing. If you are considering calcium supplementation, consult your healthcare provider to determine if it is right for you, especially if you take any medications listed above. Do not exceed the recommended dietary allowance without medical supervision [NIH ODS].
