AlgaeCal Collagen Complete
AlgaeCal Inc.
Overview
AlgaeCal Collagen Complete aims to support beauty, bones, and joints through a blend of four patented collagen powders. While the individual collagen types (FORTIBONE®, UC-II®) have supporting research, the overall effectiveness of this specific combination requires consideration of dosage and individual needs.
The Good
Multiple Collagen Types: Contains four different types of patented collagen, catering to a range of benefits.
Bioactive Collagen Peptides: Includes FORTIBONE® Bioactive Collagen Peptides® for bone health support.
Undenatured Type II Collagen: Contains UC-II® to support joint cartilage health.
The Bad
Limited Evidence for Standalone Amino Acid Benefits: Individual amino acids are present in low amounts and are unlikely to provide significant benefits compared to complete collagen supplementation.
Potential Gastrointestinal Discomfort: High doses of amino acids may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals.
Lack of Long-Term Safety Data: Long-term safety of high doses of specific collagen peptide combinations requires further investigation.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking support for skin elasticity, hair and nail strength, joint health, and bone density.
Skip If: Allergic to fish, egg, or bovine products; or following a vegan diet.
