Our assessment
The evidence shows that Douglas Laboratories Amino-Iron is a supplement containing calcium, which plays a key role in bone health. However, we need to be clear about what the data says and does not say. Based on the provided information, we can only assess the calcium component, as no other ingredient data is available.
How it works
Calcium is a mineral that supports bone mineralization — think of it as the building block for strong, dense bones. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, which means it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all supplements in this category, but specific reports for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and very high blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
