Nutrex Research UltraFit Series Amino Charger +Hydration Cosmic Blast

Our assessment

The evidence shows that Nutrex Research UltraFit Series Amino Charger +Hydration Cosmic Blast contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, based on the data provided, we cannot assess the specific benefits of this product because its full ingredient list and dosages are not available. Our assessment is that while calcium is a necessary nutrient, you should be cautious with supplementation, as the data on high intakes raises important safety considerations [NIH ODS].

How it works

Calcium acts as a key structural component in your body. It supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your bone matrix, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which is important for muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the building block that keeps your skeleton strong and your muscles working smoothly.

Safety profile

The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. Specific to calcium, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

Given that the exact amount of calcium in this product is unknown, our recommendation is to be cautious. Do not exceed the daily intake of calcium from all sources without medical supervision. If you are taking any of the medications listed that interact with calcium, take this supplement at a different time of day. Before starting this product, consult your healthcare provider to ensure it is safe for you, especially given the potential risks associated with high calcium intake [NIH ODS].
