MuscleTech Performance Series Amino Build Next Gen Energized Orange Mango Cooler

Our assessment

The evidence shows that MuscleTech Performance Series Amino Build Next Gen Energized Orange Mango Cooler contains calcium, which plays a specific role in muscle function. However, based on the available data, we cannot verify the effectiveness of the other ingredients in this specific product for athletic performance or energy. You should be aware that calcium is the only ingredient with detailed health information provided, and the product's label is not fully described in the data.

How it works

Calcium supports your body in two key ways relevant to exercise. First, it is essential for bone mineralization, meaning it helps maintain bone density and strength, which is critical for supporting physical activity [NIH ODS]. Second, calcium aids in neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after contraction [NIH ODS]. Without sufficient calcium, your muscle function and recovery could be compromised.

Safety profile

Data not available for specific side effects of this product. However, for the ingredient calcium, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though this number is not specific to this product. High calcium intake can pose risks, including constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Some research also suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

We recommend caution with this product. The data does not provide enough information about the full ingredient list or its intended benefits for energy or amino acids. If you choose to use it, be mindful of your total calcium intake from all sources, as high levels can lead to serious health issues [NIH ODS]. Also, calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like antibiotics and thyroid medication, so take this supplement at least two hours apart from those drugs [NIH ODS]. For a clearer assessment, you would need the complete product label and data on the other ingredients.

• Amount Per Serving — Shows the quantity of each nutrient in the product, typically in IU (International Units), mg (milligrams), or mcg (micrograms).
• % Daily Value (%DV) — Indicates how much a nutrient in a serving contributes to a daily diet. 5% DV or less is low; 20% DV or more is high.
• Other Ingredients — Lists inactive ingredients like fillers, binders, and capsule materials (e.g., gelatin, cellulose, magnesium stearate).
• Suggested Use — The manufacturer's recommended directions for taking the supplement, including timing and dosage.
