Dymatize Nutrition Amino Pro Lemon Lime
Brand: Dymatize Nutrition · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Dymatize Nutrition Amino Pro Lemon Lime contains calcium as an ingredient. Based on the data, calcium is a mineral that supports bone density and muscle relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with calcium supplementation, which we detail below.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones and a regulator for your muscles and nerves. It works through two main mechanisms: bone mineralization, which helps build and maintain strong bone density, and neuromuscular relaxation, which supports proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products in their database [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might 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]. Additionally, calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on specific side effects and report counts for this exact product are not available.
Our recommendation
Because the specific calcium dosage in this product is not provided, we cannot give a precise recommendation for its use. If you are considering this supplement, you should first check the label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. Be mindful of your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements, to avoid exceeding safe levels. If you take any of the medications listed that interact with calcium, take this supplement at a different time of day, as directed by your healthcare provider [NIH ODS].
