Our assessment
The evidence shows that Health Direct AminoSculpt Collagen Peptides Smooth Mango contains calcium, but data for other ingredients is not available. Our assessment is that calcium is a well-studied mineral for bone health, but you need to be aware of the specific risks and medication interactions associated with this ingredient [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, which helps maintain your skeleton's strength. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, but specific reports for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, 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 need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you are taking any medications listed above, take this supplement at least two hours apart from them. Monitor for symptoms like constipation, nausea, or extreme tiredness. Because data on the specific collagen peptides in this product is not available, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting this supplement to ensure it is safe for your individual health needs [NIH ODS].
