Country Life Tri-Layer Maxi-Skin Collagen + C & A
Brand: Country Life · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Country Life Tri-Layer Maxi-Skin Collagen + C & A contains calcium, a mineral that supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, we cannot verify the effectiveness of the collagen, vitamin C, or vitamin A components for skin health because specific data for these ingredients in this product was not provided. You should approach this supplement with realistic expectations, as only the calcium content has documented health effects in the data available.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your bones and nerves. It supports bone mineralization and mineral deposition to maintain skeletal strength, and it assists neuromuscular relaxation to help your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Without specific data on the other ingredients, we cannot comment on how the collagen, vitamin C, or vitamin A in this product work for skin health.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood and urine 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you talk with your healthcare provider before starting this product, especially if you take any prescription medications. Given the potential risks from high calcium intake, you should not exceed recommended daily amounts without medical guidance [NIH ODS]. Data not available for the specific benefits of collagen, vitamin C, or vitamin A in this formulation, so focus on getting these nutrients from a balanced diet first.
