Our assessment
The evidence shows that Dymatize Amino Pro Pineapple Guava contains the mineral calcium, but data on the specific amount per serving is not available. Calcium is essential for bone health, but the risks of high intake are significant. Our assessment is that you should not take this product for calcium unless you have confirmed the exact dosage per serving with the label, as excessive calcium from supplements carries serious health risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium plays a critical role as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization to maintain bone density and helps with neuromuscular relaxation, which allows your muscles to relax and your nerves to signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products in the database. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the specific calcium content per serving of this product. Do not rely on Dymatize Amino Pro Pineapple Guava as a calcium supplement until you verify the label. If you need calcium, get your intake from dietary sources first and speak with your doctor before adding any supplement, especially given the potential for serious side effects and medication interactions [NIH ODS].
