Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment: you can use this supplement to support your daily calcium intake, but you need to be cautious about total consumption from all sources. Data for the specific combination of collagen, vitamin C, and biotin is not available from the provided sources.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through a process called bone mineralization, and it also supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling through neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a key building block for your skeleton and a critical messenger for your nerves and muscles.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific counts for this product are not available. 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
We recommend you assess your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements to avoid exceeding safe levels. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of certain 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 two hours. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you have a history of kidney stones or heart conditions.
