Our assessment
The evidence shows that SR SportsResearch Collagen Peptides Unflavored contains calcium as an ingredient. Our assessment: calcium is a mineral essential for bone health, but the data does not provide specific amounts for this product, so we cannot confirm the dosage you would receive per serving. For a general audience, calcium supplementation requires careful consideration of your total dietary intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones and nerves. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the structural foundation for your skeleton and a key messenger for your neuromuscular system.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from very high levels include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data not available for side effect report counts specific to this product.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Before taking this product, review your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. The data does not list a specific dose for this product, so you cannot verify you are getting a safe or effective amount. If you take medications, separate calcium intake by at least two hours to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS]. For personalized guidance, consult your healthcare provider.
