Kaged Muscle Amino Synergy + Caffeine Raspberry Lemonade
Brand: Kaged Muscle · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is primarily a source of caffeine and amino acids, but based on the ingredient label, it also contains calcium. Our assessment focuses on the calcium content. For general bone health, the data supports calcium’s role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a key role in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. If you are taking this supplement for energy or workout performance, the caffeine will provide stimulation, but the calcium contributes to muscle function during and after exercise.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, though specific report counts for this product are data not available. For calcium specifically, high levels 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you are considering this product, check the total calcium content on the label and factor it into your daily intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level. If you take any of the medications listed, separate your supplement intake by at least two hours [NIH ODS]. For most people, getting calcium from food is preferred, and a supplement is only necessary if you cannot meet your needs through diet [NIH ODS].
