Our assessment
The evidence shows that Amino VITAL Rapid Recovery Natural Blueberry Flavor contains calcium as a key ingredient. For most people, this mineral is essential for bone health, but the data also points to important risks you need to know about before taking it. Data not available on the exact amount of calcium per serving from the product label.
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block and a messenger for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should check the product label for the exact calcium dose per serving. If you are taking any medications listed above, take this supplement at least 2 hours apart from them. Do not exceed the daily recommended intake without medical supervision, as high levels pose serious health risks [NIH ODS]. If you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer, consult your healthcare provider before using this product.
