Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that the key ingredient in this product, calcium, supports bone health. However, the data on Biotech Nutritions Hydrolyzed Collagen specifically is limited. For the calcium component, the RDA for most adults is 1,000 mg daily, but we must be cautious with dosing [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body will leach it from your bones, weakening them over time.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for this product category. For calcium, side effects include constipation, nausea, and weight loss at high intakes. Very high blood levels can cause poor kidney function, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [FDA data] [NIH ODS]. High calcium intakes might also increase risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by assessing your total daily calcium intake from food and supplements. Do not exceed 2,000 mg total per day from all sources. Take calcium supplements with food and separate from medications like thyroid hormone or antibiotics by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS].
