How it works
Calcium supports your body through bone mineralization, helping maintain bone density and mineral deposition. It also aids neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium 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 reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you consult your doctor before taking Collaflex Gold, especially if you take prescription medications. The calcium content is a factor to consider, but without complete data on this specific product's other ingredients and dosing, we cannot provide a confident recommendation for joint health. Data not available on the recommended dosage or specific clinical studies for this product. Focus on getting your calcium from food sources first, and discuss any supplement use with your healthcare provider [NIH ODS].
