Brand: Image Sports · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Image Sports SAAs Silk Amino Acid Energy Watermelon contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the specific benefits of this product depend entirely on your individual calcium needs. For most adults, the primary role of calcium is to support bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signal messenger for your nerves and muscles. It helps your body deposit minerals into bone tissue to maintain density and also supports proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available on how many adverse event reports are specifically linked to this product. However, across all supplements, FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports. For calcium specifically, high intakes can increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you are using this product to meet your calcium needs, keep your total calcium intake from all sources (food and supplements) within the recommended daily allowance. Be cautious if you take any of the listed medications, and separate calcium intake from these drugs by at least two hours. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement, especially if you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
