Nutrex Research Amino Drive Green Apple
Brand: Nutrex Research · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the main active ingredient in Nutrex Research Amino Drive Green Apple is calcium, and our assessment focuses on this mineral. Calcium is a well-studied nutrient, but it is not a primary ingredient for muscle recovery or amino acid support, which may be what you are looking for in this product [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium plays a key role in bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals into your bone matrix to support density. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after exercise [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Excess 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].
Our recommendation
Data is not available on the exact calcium dosage per serving for this specific product. If you are using this for amino acid or workout support, calcium alone will not provide that benefit. For general bone and muscle health, stick to the RDA for calcium, but be aware of the side effects from excessive intake [NIH ODS].
