Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product, NeoCell Collagen + C Pomegranate Liquid, contains calcium as a key ingredient. For you, this means you are getting a mineral that is critical for bone health, but it also comes with important safety considerations. Our assessment is that you should use this supplement with a clear understanding of the risks associated with calcium intake, especially if you are taking other medications [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is essential for maintaining strong bones as you age. Additionally, calcium plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves communicate properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 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. Very high levels of calcium in your 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend that you do not exceed the daily recommended intake for calcium from all sources, including food and supplements. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. If you take any of these, separate your doses by at least two hours [NIH ODS].
