Our assessment
The evidence shows that CytoSport Monster Series Monster Amino 6:1:1 Fruit Punch contains calcium, which plays a key role in bone health. However, the data on this specific product is limited, and you should be aware of the potential risks associated with excessive calcium intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps with neuromuscular relaxation, which is important for muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product’s side effects. However, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Given the limited data on this specific product, we recommend you review the label carefully to confirm the exact amount of calcium per serving. You should also check with your healthcare provider before use, especially if you take any of the medications listed above or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease [NIH ODS].
