Our assessment
The evidence shows that Terra Origin Probiotic Collagen Powder Peptides Berry Melon contains calcium, which is a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that while calcium is critical for your body, you need to be aware of both its benefits and its potential risks, especially when taken as a supplement. The data does not provide specific information on the probiotic or collagen components of this product, so our analysis focuses strictly on the calcium content.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is how your body keeps your bones strong. Calcium also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's side effects. However, based on the calcium ingredient data, high calcium 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]. The FDA has received 592059 total adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not provided [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level for calcium without medical supervision. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. You should consult your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any of these medications or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease.
