Dymatize Nutrition Amino Pro Fruit Punch with Caffeine
Brand: Dymatize Nutrition · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health, but the specific amount in this formulation is not available from the data provided. As a clinical pharmacist, I want you to know that while calcium supports bone density and nerve signaling [NIH ODS], you should be cautious about exceeding your total daily intake from all sources, including food and supplements.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body’s structural framework. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the key that helps your muscles relax after contracting and keeps your heart rhythm steady.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product’s side effects. However, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, 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 absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
I recommend you check your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements before adding this product. Do not exceed 2,500 mg per day from all sources without medical supervision. If you take any of the medications listed above, separate calcium intake by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS]. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement, especially if you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate conditions.
