Pure Encapsulations Amino-NR
Brand: Pure Encapsulations · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Pure Encapsulations Amino-NR provides Calcium as its active ingredient. Based on the data, Calcium is essential for bone health and nerve function, but the specific benefits of this product depend on whether you have a deficiency. We recommend evaluating your dietary calcium intake before starting this supplement, as the data does not provide a specific dosage for this product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density by depositing minerals into your bone matrix, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals effectively [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body will pull it from your bones, which can weaken them over time.
Safety profile
FDA 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 [NIH ODS]. Side effects from excessively high blood levels include 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 absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific dosage for Pure Encapsulations Amino-NR. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider to check your current calcium levels and discuss potential interactions with any medications you take. If you use this product, take it separately from the medications listed above to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
