You should consider your total daily calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements, to avoid exceeding safe levels [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation by aiding muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from very high calcium levels in the blood and urine include 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 [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of certain medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Specific side effect report counts for calcium are not available.
Our recommendation
Data not available on the exact calcium dose per serving in Cellucor Alpha Amino Watermelon. You should check the product label for the specific amount. To stay safe, ensure your total daily calcium intake from all supplements and food does not exceed the upper limits. If you take any of the medications listed above, separate your calcium intake by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS].
