Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains L-Lysine, an essential amino acid. However, based strictly on the provided data, the ingredient information for this specific product is limited, and the primary data available relates to calcium. For calcium, our assessment is that it is a well-established mineral for bone health, but you must be cautious with dosing and potential risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key building block for your body. It supports bone mineralization by helping to deposit minerals into your skeleton, and it also aids in neuromuscular relaxation by supporting proper nerve signaling and muscle function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though a specific count for this product is not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Also, calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for L-Lysine specifically. For calcium, if you take it, do not exceed the recommended daily intake. You should take calcium supplements separately from the listed medications by at least 2 hours. Always tell your doctor and pharmacist about all supplements you are taking [NIH ODS].
