Our assessment
The evidence shows that Mindbodygreen Grass-Fed Collagen+ Chocolate contains calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment: this product supports bone health through calcium's role in bone mineralization, but you need to be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with calcium supplementation [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].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements in the data set, though report counts specific to this product are data not available. For the calcium ingredient: high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in 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 reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you take this collagen product, consider your total daily calcium intake from all sources. Do not exceed the Tolerable Upper Intake Level without medical supervision. If you take any of the listed medications, separate calcium intake by at least 2 hours. Consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting if you have a history of kidney stones or heart conditions [NIH ODS].
