Brand: Bronson Laboratories · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: Based on the data provided, this product is a calcium supplement, not an amino acid complex. The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health, but the product label information is limited. For a general audience seeking a true amino acid complex, this product does not match the description on the label based on the data given.
How it works
Calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in muscle and nerve function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports for the general supplement category [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High calcium levels can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Do not use this product if you are seeking an amino acid complex — the data indicates it is a calcium supplement. If you need a calcium supplement, consult your doctor about your specific needs and potential medication interactions [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific dose and form of calcium in this product is not available.
