Our assessment
The evidence shows that Precision Engineered Amino 1000 contains calcium, which is a mineral essential for bone health and muscle function [NIH ODS]. Our assessment is that while calcium is a critical nutrient, you should be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with supplementation before adding this product to your routine.
How it works
Calcium acts as a key player in bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a foundational building block for your skeleton. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves transmit signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data]. Some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium in your 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the exact dosage of calcium in this product. You should be cautious about taking this supplement if you are on medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Our recommendation is to consult your doctor before starting this supplement, especially to review your total calcium intake from food and other supplements to avoid exceeding safe levels.
