Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Syntrax Amino-Tor Blue Raspberry is calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, you should not rely on this product as a primary source without understanding the specific risks of supplementation. Data on the exact amount of calcium per serving is not available, which makes it difficult to give a precise recommendation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key building block for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This means calcium helps your muscles relax after contracting and helps your nerves send messages throughout your body.
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products, but specific report counts for this product are not available. You should be aware that high calcium intakes from supplements might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Very high levels 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the exact calcium content per serving is not listed, we cannot recommend this product for targeted calcium supplementation. If you are taking any of the medications listed above, you should be cautious. We recommend getting your calcium primarily from food sources and speaking with your doctor before adding any calcium supplement to your routine [NIH ODS].
