Our assessment
The evidence shows that the Body Fortress BCAA Tri-Amino Complex contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that this product can support your daily mineral intake, but you should be aware of the potential risks and interactions associated with calcium supplementation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a foundational building block for your body. It supports bone mineralization to maintain strong bone density and plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for side effects specific to this product. However, overall FDA data includes 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. You should also know that calcium can reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you consider your total daily calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements, to avoid exceeding safe levels. If you take any of the medications listed under interactions, take this supplement at a different time of day. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement, especially if you have a history of kidney issues or heart disease [NIH ODS].
