Douglas Laboratories Tri-Amino
Brand: Douglas Laboratories · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the ingredient calcium is well-studied for bone health, but the specific product Douglas Laboratories Tri-Amino does not have a standardized label for its calcium content in the data provided. We cannot verify the exact dosage or form of calcium in this supplement. The data confirms calcium’s role in supporting bone density, but you should be aware that high intakes carry significant risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and mineral deposition, and it helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling. This means it is essential for both skeletal strength and proper muscle function [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific side effect reports for this product. However, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes can lead to serious problems including constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease. High calcium levels can also cause poor muscle tone and poor kidney function [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Because the label information for Douglas Laboratories Tri-Amino is not provided, we cannot recommend a specific dosage. Before taking this supplement, you should consult your healthcare provider to determine if you need additional calcium. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of certain medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, so timing your dose carefully is critical [NIH ODS].
