Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is a flavored amino acid supplement, and the only ingredient with sufficient data for a clinical assessment is calcium, which is listed on the label. For the specific amino acid blend and "Intra" formulation, data is not available. Our assessment focuses on the calcium content and its known effects.
How it works
Calcium plays a dual role in your body. First, it supports bone mineralization, meaning it helps deposit minerals into your bone structure for density and strength. Second, it supports neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after exercise [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's adverse events. However, for the ingredient calcium, FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. High calcium intakes can cause constipation, nausea, and extreme tiredness [NIH ODS]. Some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you are using this product for workout recovery, be aware that the calcium content may interact with medications you take. You should take calcium supplements separately from these medications by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS]. For general health, stick to the RDA for calcium (1,000–1,200 mg daily from all sources) and do not exceed that amount without a doctor's guidance [NIH ODS].
