The evidence shows that BAM Balanced Amino Maintenance from Metabolic Maintenance is a supplement providing amino acids and calcium. Our assessment is that calcium is a well-studied mineral for bone health, but the specific formulation of this product requires careful consideration of your individual dietary needs and health status [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium plays a critical role as a master regulator of several body systems. It supports bone mineralization and density, and is essential for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. You need adequate calcium for your heart, muscles, and nerves to function properly.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's side effects. However, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements [FDA data]. High calcium intakes from supplements can pose risks, including constipation, nausea, and an increased risk of heart disease and prostate cancer in some research [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine can also cause poor muscle tone, kidney function issues, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Before starting this supplement, you should evaluate your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. We recommend discussing this product with your healthcare provider to ensure it is appropriate for your specific health needs and does not interfere with any medications you are taking [NIH ODS].
