Genestra Brands Amino DMG
Brand: Genestra Brands · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Genestra Brands Amino DMG is calcium. Our assessment: Calcium is a well-documented mineral for bone health, but the data does not support any specific benefits from the "Amino DMG" formulation itself. The data available is for calcium alone, not for the combined product [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your skeletal system. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from high calcium levels include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the specific "Amino DMG" formulation. For general calcium intake, you should aim for the RDA from food first. If you choose to supplement, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. Consult your pharmacist before starting.
