Codeage Multi Collagen Peptides Unflavored
Brand: Codeage · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Codeage Multi Collagen Peptides Unflavored contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that while calcium is necessary, you should be aware of the potential risks associated with high intake, especially if you already consume calcium from food or other supplements [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific collagen blend is not available.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, helping to keep your bones strong and resilient [NIH ODS]. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting proper muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, safety data indicates that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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
Start by assessing your total daily calcium intake from food and supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without your doctor's guidance. If you take any medications listed above (thyroid medication, certain antibiotics, or osteoporosis drugs), separate your calcium supplement by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS]. Data not available for the collagen component specifically.
