Health Direct AminoSculpt Collagen Peptides Natural Cherry
Brand: Health Direct · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Health Direct AminoSculpt Collagen Peptides contains calcium as an ingredient. However, the specific amount per serving is not provided in the data, so we cannot assess the exact dosage you would be receiving [NIH ODS]. For bone health, calcium is essential, but you must be careful with total intake from all sources.
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This means it helps your muscles relax after contracting and supports proper nerve function throughout your body.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's adverse event reports. However, for calcium generally, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in 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]. The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the product label for the exact calcium content per serving. Because calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, take this product at least two hours apart from any prescription medications [NIH ODS]. If you are unsure about your total calcium intake, consult your healthcare provider to avoid exceeding safe levels.
