BSN Hyper FX Grape
Brand: BSN · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that BSN Hyper FX Grape contains calcium, a mineral with specific benefits and clear risks. Our assessment is that this ingredient supports bone density and muscle relaxation, but you must be cautious about your total daily intake from all sources [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signaler — it supports bone mineralization for strong bones and helps with neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA 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 blood and urine levels 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake from all sources. Take this supplement at least two hours apart from any medications listed in the interactions. Data on the exact dose of calcium in this specific product is not available, so you must check the label carefully and consider your total dietary intake [NIH ODS].
