Data not available for the collagen ingredient itself.

How it works

Think of calcium as a key builder for your body. It supports bone mineralization, meaning it helps deposit minerals into your skeleton to keep bones dense and strong. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific report counts for this product are not available. The data shows that high calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

Before taking this supplement, you should check with your healthcare provider, especially if you take any medications listed above or have concerns about heart or kidney health. Start with the lowest effective dose and monitor for any side effects like nausea or constipation. Data not available for specific dosing or collagen benefits, so rely on your doctor’s guidance for your individual needs [NIH ODS].
