Our assessment
The evidence shows that Dymatize Nutrition Amino Pro Lemon Lime provides supplemental calcium. Our assessment: this product may support bone health, but you should be aware of the potential risks associated with calcium intake, particularly from supplements. The data does not provide specific dosage information for this product, so we cannot confirm the exact amount of calcium per serving [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium works as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping maintain bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, supporting proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling. Think of it as a key building block for your skeletal system and a helper for your nerves and muscles to function smoothly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products in its database. For calcium specifically, 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also 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, we recommend caution. Data not available on the specific calcium dose in this product, so you should check the product label carefully. If you take medications for osteoporosis, thyroid conditions, or infections, consult your pharmacist or doctor before use due to absorption interactions. For most adults, getting calcium from food sources is preferred unless a healthcare provider advises supplementation [NIH ODS].
