Our assessment
The evidence shows that Health Direct AminoSculpt Collagen Peptides contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health.

Our assessment is that calcium can be beneficial, but you need to consider your total intake from all sources.
How it works
Calcium serves as a master regulator for your body's structure and function. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your bone density, and it also aids neuromuscular relaxation, which is essential for proper muscle signaling and nerve function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for the specific side effects of this product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the 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].
Our recommendation
You should be cautious with calcium supplementation. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. Do not take this product at the same time as these medications. Consult your healthcare provider to determine if this supplement is appropriate for your specific health needs [NIH ODS].
