Higher Nature Collaflex Gold
Brand: Higher Nature · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Collaflex Gold contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, our assessment is that you should approach this supplement with caution due to significant safety concerns associated with high calcium intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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 [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Start by reviewing your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Because of these risks and interactions, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before adding this product to your routine. Data on the specific dosage in Collaflex Gold is not available.
