Dymatize Nutrition Super Amino 6000
Brand: Dymatize Nutrition · Form: SUPPLEMENT FORM, OTHER [E0172]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Dymatize Nutrition Super Amino 6000 is a protein supplement, but its label lists calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment focuses on the calcium content. For general health, the data confirms that calcium is essential for bone density and muscle function [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that this product contains a significant amount of calcium, and the data on high intake warrants caution.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signaling molecule for your muscles. It supports bone mineralization, which helps keep your skeleton strong, and it facilitates neuromuscular relaxation, allowing your muscles to contract and relax properly after exercise [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for this product category. The data shows that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Specifically, 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].
Our recommendation
Data not available for a specific recommended dose of this product. You should check the product label for specific serving sizes. Given the potential risks from high calcium intake, we recommend you consult with your healthcare provider before using this supplement, especially if you take any medications or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease [NIH ODS].
