BIOVEA Collagen plus Vitamin C
Brand: BIOVEA · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that the BIOVEA Collagen plus Vitamin C product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. For you, this means the supplement may support bone density, though the data is limited to the calcium component specifically [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This could be relevant if you are looking to maintain skeletal strength as you age.
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for products in this category [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels 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
Our recommendation: You should be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about timing your supplement away from these medications. Data on the specific collagen and vitamin C combination in this product is not available.
