Dymatize Nutrition Amino Pro Fruit Punch With Caffeine

Our assessment

The evidence shows that Dymatize Nutrition Amino Pro Fruit Punch With Caffeine contains calcium, a mineral that plays a role in bone and muscle function. However, based on the data provided, we cannot evaluate the specific benefits or risks of this product as a whole because detailed ingredient amounts and clinical studies for this exact formulation are not available. For calcium specifically, the data supports its role in bone health, but you should be aware of potential risks and medication interactions.

How it works

Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal messenger for your muscles and nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without enough calcium, your body may pull it from your bones, which can weaken them over time.

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]. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, but a specific count for this product is not provided [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
