Our assessment
The evidence shows that Purus Labs Everyday Amino Natural Blackberry Cherry contains the mineral calcium. For most adults, calcium is essential for bone health, but the data indicates that high intakes carry significant risks. Our assessment is that you should be cautious with any supplement providing additional calcium, especially if you already consume dairy or fortified foods [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton and a signal messenger for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your bones stay dense and your muscles relax properly after contracting [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes can cause constipation, nausea, and weight loss. More seriously, high levels in the blood can lead to poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, abnormal heart rhythms, and an increased risk of death from heart disease. Some research also suggests a possible link to heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the exact calcium dosage in this product, so we cannot give a precise daily amount. Before taking this supplement, check your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Stick to the RDA of 1,000 mg per day for most adults and avoid exceeding 2,000 mg. If you take medications like thyroid medication or antibiotics, separate them from calcium by at least two hours [NIH ODS].
