NOW Sports Amino Complete
Brand: NOW Sports · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that NOW Sports Amino Complete is a multi-ingredient supplement, but the only ingredient with sufficient data for analysis is calcium. Based on the data, calcium supports bone health and nerve function. However, you should be aware of potential risks and medication interactions before using this product.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body's structural and signaling systems. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves transmit signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data is not available for the specific blend of ingredients in NOW Sports Amino Complete beyond calcium. If you are taking any medications listed above, consult your doctor before using this product. For general calcium needs, follow established guidelines and do not exceed recommended intakes without medical supervision [NIH ODS].
