Guru Guru Energy Drink 2.0
Brand: Guru · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Guru Guru Energy Drink 2.0 contains calcium, but data on its specific formulation and other ingredients is not available. Calcium is essential for bone health, but relying on an energy drink for this mineral is not our preferred approach. The total number of FDA adverse event reports for all products is 592,059, but specific reports for this drink are not available [FDA data].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body will pull it from your bones, which can weaken them over time.
Safety profile
Be cautious with high calcium intakes. Some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels in your blood and urine 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]. Specific side effect report counts for this drink are not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We do not recommend relying on Guru Guru Energy Drink 2.0 as a primary source of calcium. If you need a calcium supplement, choose a standard supplement with a known dose, and take it separately from your medications to avoid interactions [NIH ODS]. For general health, aim to get calcium from food sources first. Data is not available on the exact amount of calcium per serving of this drink, making it difficult to assess its safety and efficacy.
