Our assessment
The evidence shows that MaritzMayer Laboratories Collagen 750 contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data provided does not include any specific studies or findings on collagen itself. Our assessment is that this product may support bone mineralization, but you should be aware of the significant safety considerations associated with calcium intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body's structural framework. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the primary building block for your skeleton.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood 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 supplements can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Do not take this product without first reviewing your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Because high calcium intakes carry serious risks, you should speak with your healthcare provider to determine if this supplement is appropriate for you, especially if you take any of the listed medications [NIH ODS]. Data on the collagen component is not available, so its benefits cannot be assessed here.
