Antler Farms Collagen Powder

Our assessment
The evidence shows that Antler Farms Collagen Powder is formulated to support your health, but the key active ingredient we have data on is calcium. Our assessment: calcium is essential for bone density and muscle function, but the benefits depend entirely on your overall intake and health status [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a master builder for your skeleton and a signal messenger for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization by depositing into your bone structure and helps neuromuscular relaxation, which is critical for proper muscle signaling and relaxation [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effects of Antler Farms Collagen Powder. However, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, and abnormal heart rhythms. High levels of calcium in the blood also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you consider your total daily calcium intake from all sources before adding this supplement. Calcium can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine, so take it at a separate time from those drugs [NIH ODS]. Start with a low dose and monitor for side effects. If you have a history of kidney stones or heart conditions, consult your doctor first.
