Our assessment
The evidence shows that BSN Amino X Fruit Punch contains calcium, but the specific amount per serving is not listed in the provided data. Calcium is a well-researched mineral essential for bone health and muscle function, but it comes with important safety considerations [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body’s structural and signaling systems. It supports bone mineralization and density, while also helping your muscles relax and your nerves communicate properly [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the key that helps your muscles and nerves function smoothly.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the exact calcium dose in BSN Amino X Fruit Punch. If you choose to use this product, be cautious about your total daily calcium intake from all sources. Check with your healthcare provider, especially if you take any of the medications listed above or have a history of kidney issues or heart disease [NIH ODS].
