Cellucor Alpha Amino Fruit Punch
Brand: Cellucor · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Cellucor Alpha Amino Fruit Punch contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and muscle function. However, the data provided does not specify the amount of calcium per serving, which is critical for evaluating its effectiveness. Our assessment is that this product may contribute to your daily calcium intake, but its value depends entirely on the unlisted dosage and your overall diet [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signal messenger. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain strong bone density, and plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, which is vital for proper muscle function and nerve signaling after exercise [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's adverse events. However, across all supplements, the FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Excessive calcium can cause constipation, nausea, poor kidney function, abnormal heart rhythms, and extreme tiredness [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the specific calcium dosage on the product label before use. If you already eat dairy or fortified foods, you may not need extra calcium from this supplement. To avoid risks, do not exceed the Tolerable Upper Intake Level of 2,500 mg per day from all sources combined [NIH ODS].
