Bodybuilding.com Signature Amino Plus Energy Blueberry Lemonade

Our assessment

The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Bodybuilding.com Signature Amino Plus Energy Blueberry Lemonade, based on the data provided, is likely Calcium. Our assessment is that this is not a targeted energy or amino acid formula supported by the data you shared. The data provided focuses on calcium, which is a mineral, not an amino acid or energy compound. You should be aware that the product's name suggests benefits not directly supported by the information available here.

How it works

If this product contains calcium, it works through bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and neuromuscular relaxation, which supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. These mechanisms are unrelated to the "energy" or "amino" claims on the label. The data does not include information on how this specific product provides energy.

Safety profile

FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, side effects can include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine can also cause poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

Based on the data provided, we cannot recommend Bodybuilding.com Signature Amino Plus Energy Blueberry Lemonade for its intended purpose of providing amino acids or energy, as the only ingredient data available is for calcium. If you are seeking a calcium supplement, consider a standard, single-ingredient product. Data not available on the specific amino acid or energy blend in this product. For energy and amino acid support, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional for evidence-based alternatives.
