Syntrax Matrix Amino Orange Citrus
Brand: Syntrax · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Syntrax Matrix Amino Orange Citrus is a supplement providing amino acids, but the data we have specifically relates to one of its key ingredients: calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, you need to be aware of potential risks and interactions associated with its intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium plays a critical role in your body. Think of it as a structural builder for your bones, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also acts as a neuromuscular regulator, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in your blood and urine can lead to 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Be mindful of your total calcium intake from all sources, including this supplement. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to ensure this product is safe and appropriate for you, especially if you take any of these medications or have a history of kidney issues.
