Nutrex Research Black Series Amino Drive Peach Pineapple

Our assessment

The evidence shows that the calcium in this product supports bone density and muscle function, but the data on this specific formulation is limited. Our assessment is based on the ingredient calcium, which is well-documented for its role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that high intakes of calcium may carry risks, and the specific benefits of this product beyond those of standard calcium are not established by the data provided.

How it works

Think of calcium as a foundational mineral for your body. It works through bone mineralization to support bone density and mineral deposition, and it promotes neuromuscular relaxation to support muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This means it helps keep your bones strong and your muscles and nerves communicating properly.

Safety profile

Data not available for specific adverse events tied to this product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but no specific report count is provided for this product alone [FDA data]. For calcium generally, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the 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].

Our recommendation

Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label. If you take any medications, especially thyroid medication or antibiotics, take calcium at least two hours apart to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS]. If you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer, consult your doctor before using this product [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific taste or effectiveness of the peach pineapple flavor is not available.
