Quantum Health SuperLysine+
Brand: Quantum Health · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Quantum Health SuperLysine+ contains calcium, a mineral primarily known for supporting bone health. Our assessment: this product may contribute to your daily calcium intake, but you should be aware of the specific risks and limitations associated with calcium supplements before using it.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for bone mineralization, helping to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation by supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as a key building block your body uses to maintain strong bones and proper nerve function.
Safety profile
Data not available for adverse event reports specific to this product. However, for calcium supplements broadly, FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from high calcium levels include 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check the label for the exact amount of calcium in each serving of SuperLysine+. If you are taking any medications on the interaction list, separate calcium intake by at least two hours. Do not exceed the daily recommended intake without medical supervision, as high calcium levels carry serious risks [NIH ODS]. If you have concerns about heart disease or prostate cancer risk, consult your healthcare provider before starting calcium supplements [NIH ODS].
