Our assessment
The evidence shows that DaVinci Laboratories Of Vermont Amino 21 contains Calcium as a key ingredient. For a general audience, calcium is essential for bone health, but our assessment is that this product's specific formulation requires careful consideration. You should be aware that the data does not provide complete details on the other amino acids in this blend, and we must rely on the information for calcium alone. The primary benefit you can expect from the calcium component is support for bone mineralization and neuromuscular function [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton and a signal conductor for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, ensuring your bones stay strong. At the same time, it facilitates neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling, which is why it plays a role in muscle function [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body will leach it from your bones to maintain these critical functions.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's side effects. However, based on the calcium content, 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]. Some research also suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but this number is not specific to this product [FDA data]. You should also be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to approach this supplement with caution. Because the full ingredient list and specific dosages are not provided in the data, you cannot verify that you are taking a safe or effective amount of calcium or the other amino acids. Before starting, consult your healthcare provider to check if you need additional calcium, as most people get enough from diet. If you take any medications, especially those listed above, discuss potential interactions. For a safer approach, consider getting your calcium from food sources and using a single-ingredient supplement only if your doctor confirms a deficiency [NIH ODS].
