Our assessment
The evidence shows that MusclePharm Amino 1 Fruit Punch contains calcium as an ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, the data does not provide a specific dosage for this product. You should check the label for the exact amount of calcium per serving, as this will determine whether the supplement provides a meaningful or negligible amount for your needs.
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]. Think of it as a key mineral for both your structural framework and your daily neuromuscular function.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, though specific numbers for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine calcium levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Check the product label for the exact calcium dosage per serving. If the amount is low (under 100 mg), it is unlikely to have a significant impact on your health. If the amount is high, be cautious about taking it alongside other calcium supplements or medications. Do not exceed 2,500 mg of total calcium daily from all sources without medical supervision [NIH ODS]. Data not available for other ingredients in this product.
