Health Direct AminoSculpt Collagen Peptide Shots Natural Tart Cherry
Brand: Health Direct · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Health Direct AminoSculpt Collagen Peptide Shots Natural Tart Cherry contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, based on the data provided, we cannot assess the collagen or tart cherry components specifically as no data on those ingredients was supplied. For the calcium in this product, our assessment is that you should be mindful of your total daily intake from all sources to avoid exceeding safe levels [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This means it helps your muscles relax after contraction and supports proper communication between your nerves and muscles.
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but data is not available on the specific number of reports for this exact product. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood 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].
Our recommendation
Start by calculating your total calcium intake from food and all supplements. This product adds to that total, so do not exceed 2,000–2,500 mg per day from all sources. Take this shot at a different time than medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Without specific data on the collagen or tart cherry, we cannot recommend this product for any specific health goal beyond general calcium supplementation.
