Cellucor Alpha Amino Icy Blue Razz
Brand: Cellucor · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Cellucor Alpha Amino Icy Blue Razz is calcium. While calcium is essential for bone health, our assessment is that this product is marketed as an amino acid supplement, and the data provided does not confirm the presence of any amino acids. For the calcium it does contain, the benefits are specific to bone and nerve function, not muscle recovery from amino acids as the product name implies [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton and a signal messenger for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS]. Data on how this specific product works for athletic performance is not available.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement products, but specific report counts for Cellucor Alpha Amino are not available. For calcium itself, high intakes can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and poor kidney function [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to be cautious. If you are seeking an amino acid supplement, the data does not support that this product meets that need. If you are taking this for calcium, get your total daily intake from all sources checked to avoid exceeding safe levels. Always take calcium supplements separately from thyroid or antibiotic medications by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
