Our assessment
The evidence shows that BSN Amino X Blue Raz contains calcium. Our assessment: for most people, the calcium in this product is a supportive mineral for bone health, but you must be aware of the specific risks and medication interactions tied to calcium supplementation. Data on this specific product is limited to its ingredient list, so we rely on established calcium data from the NIH.
How it works
Calcium plays two key roles in your body. First, it supports bone mineralization, meaning it helps maintain bone density and strength. Second, it aids in neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, though data for this specific product is not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects of excessive calcium include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
If you take BSN Amino X Blue Raz, check the label for the exact calcium amount per serving. Be cautious if you take bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. For most adults, it is best to get calcium from food first. Data on the specific benefits of this supplement is not available.
