Brand: Nature's Bounty Optimal Solutions · Form: GUMMY [E0176] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: This product combines a multivitamin with collagen and calcium in a gummy form. The evidence shows that while calcium is critical for bone health, you should be aware of its specific risks and interactions. The data on this exact product is limited, so we rely on the ingredient-level data provided for calcium [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. The collagen in this gummy is intended to support skin and joint health, though specific data on collagen for this product is not available.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, 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].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Be cautious with calcium intake from supplements. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. If you take any of these medications, separate your calcium dose by at least 2 hours. Data not available on the specific dosage of calcium in this product, so consult your healthcare provider before starting [NIH ODS].
