Our assessment
The evidence shows that BIOVEA Fish Collagen with Hyaluronic Acid contains calcium, which is a mineral critical for bone health. Data not available on the specific amount of calcium in this product, but the ingredient plays a well-documented role in supporting bone density and mineral deposition [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization, which is the process of hardening and strengthening your bones. Calcium also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly after contraction [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific data for this product is not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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
Consider this supplement only if you have a confirmed need for additional calcium and collagen support. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you take any of these medications or have a history of kidney issues or heart disease.
