Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is an amino acid base, not a significant source of the mineral calcium. Based on the available data, we cannot assess its effectiveness for bone health or other claims typically associated with calcium supplements, as the data provided does not list the specific amino acids or their amounts. Our assessment is that for a general audience seeking a calcium supplement, this product is not appropriate, as its primary ingredients are amino acids.
How it works
While this product is labeled as an amino acid base, the data provided only includes information on calcium. Calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, because the specific amino acids in this product are not listed in the data, we cannot explain how this particular formula works in the body. Without the ingredient list, we must state: Data not available on the mechanism of action for this specific product.
Safety profile
Data not available for the safety profile of this specific amino acid base product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but no specific data is provided for this product [FDA data]. High levels of calcium from supplements can cause constipation, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS], but this product is not a calcium supplement.
Our recommendation
We cannot recommend this product based on the data provided. The specific amino acids and their dosages are not listed, making it impossible to evaluate its safety or effectiveness. If you are looking for a calcium supplement, choose one with a known dose of calcium, and be aware that high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease [NIH ODS]. Always consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting a new supplement.
