Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, we must be clear: the data provided does not confirm the amount of calcium in this specific liquid collagen product. You should check the label for the exact dosage per serving before use [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body will pull it from your bones, which can weaken them over time.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, for calcium supplements generally, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. FDA has received a total of 592059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Check the product label for the exact calcium dosage. If you take calcium, be aware it can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. For most adults, total calcium intake from food and supplements should not exceed 2,000–2,500 mg daily. Start by reviewing your diet before adding this supplement [NIH ODS].
