Our assessment
The evidence shows that Country Life Maxi-Skin Collagen + C&A Powder Flavorless contains calcium as an ingredient.

Data not available for all other ingredients in this specific formulation.
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your bone density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which aids muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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 [NIH ODS]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the specific collagen or other ingredients in this product. For the calcium component, be aware of the potential side effects and medication interactions listed above [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Because we lack complete data on this specific blend, we cannot make a full recommendation for this product at this time.
