Our assessment
The evidence shows that GHOST BCAA Amino Acids Sour Patch Kids Redberry contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and muscle function. However, the data on calcium is complex, and we need to look at the specifics to give you a clear picture [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key signaling molecule for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. The data on calcium does show important safety considerations. Some research suggests that high calcium 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Given the potential risks associated with high calcium intake and the lack of specific data for this product, we recommend you be cautious. Data not available for the specific BCAA blend in this product. If you choose to use it, do not exceed the recommended serving size and be aware of your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. Consult your doctor before starting, especially if you take any of the medications listed above [NIH ODS].
