Dymatize Super Protein Amino 6000
Brand: Dymatize · Form: SUPPLEMENT FORM, OTHER [E0172]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Dymatize Super Protein Amino 6000 is calcium, which is well-supported for bone health. However, the product's name and label do not specify the exact amount of calcium per serving, making it difficult to give precise dosing advice. Based on the data, calcium plays a critical role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular function [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which helps keep your bones strong. It also aids in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling, making it essential for everyday movement and coordination [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific reports 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 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]. 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 content per serving. If you are taking any medications listed above, take this supplement at least two hours apart from them. Do not exceed the RDA of 1,000–1,200 mg of total calcium from food and supplements combined without medical supervision. For most people, getting calcium from food is safer and better absorbed [NIH ODS].
