Brand: BSN · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that BSN Non-Caffeinated Amino X Watermelon contains calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment is that this product may support bone health, but you should be aware of significant safety considerations and potential medication interactions associated with calcium supplementation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through bone mineralization, and it also promotes muscle relaxation and proper nerve signaling through neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
You should be cautious with this product. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using this supplement, especially if you take any of these medications.
