Syntrax Amino-Tor Orange Citrus

Our assessment

The evidence shows that Syntrax Amino-Tor Orange Citrus contains Calcium, a mineral with a clear role in bone health, but the data does not provide a specific recommended dosage for this product. Our assessment: Calcium is well-supported for bone mineralization, but you should be aware of its potential risks and interactions [NIH ODS].

How it works

Think of calcium as a structural builder and a signal messenger for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This means it helps your bones stay strong and your muscles relax properly after contracting.

Safety profile

Data not available for the specific product. However, for the ingredient calcium, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High blood and urine levels 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]. The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but a breakdown for this specific product is not available [FDA data].

Our recommendation

We recommend you use this product only if you are aware of your total calcium intake from all sources. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you take bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Start with the smallest amount suggested on the product label, and monitor for any signs of nausea or constipation [NIH ODS].
