Cellucor Alpha Amino Fruit Punch

Our assessment

The evidence shows that Cellucor Alpha Amino Fruit Punch contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. However, based on the data provided, we cannot confirm the specific amount of calcium in this product, as the ingredient list is marked "See label" and the exact dosage is not available. Our assessment is that while calcium is a beneficial nutrient, you should be cautious with any supplement where the precise ingredient amounts are unclear. Data not available for the specific dosage per serving.

How it works

Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body's structural and signaling systems. It supports bone mineralization and density, and plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly after exercise [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the architectural foundation for your skeleton and the electrical wiring for your muscles.

Safety profile

FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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 [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

Because the exact calcium dose in Cellucor Alpha Amino Fruit Punch is not available from the provided data, we cannot recommend a specific intake level from this product. If you are considering this supplement, you should carefully check the product label for the exact calcium content. For general health, most adults obtain sufficient calcium from food. Before taking any calcium-containing supplement, especially if you take prescription medications, consult your healthcare provider [NIH ODS].
