Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active mineral in this supplement, calcium, is essential for bone health. However, our assessment is that you should be cautious with calcium supplementation. The data indicates that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. We recommend you evaluate your total calcium intake from food and supplements before starting this product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is key for maintaining strong bones as you age. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, the FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for similar products. For calcium specifically, high levels 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to first check your daily calcium intake from your diet. If you are already getting enough from food, a supplement may not be necessary. If you choose to take this product, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult with your healthcare provider before starting. Data not available for the specific collagen ingredient in this product.
