Our assessment
The evidence shows that MuscleTech Performance Series Amino Build Fruit Punch contains calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment is that this product is primarily a source of amino acids, but the calcium content may be a factor for you to consider. Data on the specific amino acid blend is not available, so we focus on the calcium component for this analysis [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural and signaling mineral. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For you, this means it helps with muscle function and bone health when combined with your training efforts [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific data for this product is not available. 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 absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper limit without medical guidance. If you take medications, separate calcium intake by at least two hours. For most adults, the goal is to get calcium from food first, with supplements as a backup [NIH ODS].
