Our assessment
The evidence shows that Terra Origin Collagen Skin Boost Acai Berry contains calcium as an ingredient. Our assessment is that this product can contribute to your daily calcium intake, which is important for bone health, but the data available does not provide specific details on the amount of calcium per serving, the collagen content, or the acai berry content. This lack of specific dosage information makes it difficult to give a precise recommendation on its effectiveness for skin health.
How it works
Calcium works by supporting bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. If the product provides a meaningful amount of calcium, it would contribute to these functions. However, "Data not available" for the specific mechanisms of collagen or acai berry in this formulation.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the product label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. If you are using this product for skin health, "Data not available" from the provided sources to confirm its effectiveness for that purpose. Given the potential for calcium to interact with medications, you should speak with your doctor before adding this supplement, especially if you take prescription drugs. For general bone health, you can aim for the RDA of 1000-1200 mg of calcium daily from all sources [NIH ODS].
