Our assessment
The evidence shows that Precision Engineered Maximum Strength Amino 1500 contains the mineral calcium. Our assessment is that calcium is essential for bone health, but this product's high dose warrants careful consideration. You should be aware that high calcium intakes from supplements may carry specific risks that are not present with dietary calcium [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signaling molecule for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also promotes neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium generally, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Before taking this product, you should check your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. Because the data shows potential risks from high calcium levels, we recommend you speak with your healthcare provider to determine if this supplement is appropriate for you. If you take any medications, especially those for thyroid conditions or infections, discuss the potential interaction with calcium [NIH ODS].
