Our assessment
The evidence shows that Codeage Marine Collagen Peptides Powder contains calcium, which is a mineral with well-documented benefits for bone health. Our assessment is that while this ingredient is essential, you should be aware of the specific dosage and potential risks associated with calcium intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through a process called bone mineralization. Additionally, it plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement ingredients. For calcium specifically, some research suggests 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
Data not available on the exact calcium dosage in this product. We recommend you check the label for the specific amount per serving and consult your healthcare provider before taking this supplement, especially if you take any medications that interact with calcium or have a history of kidney issues or heart disease [NIH ODS].
