Our assessment
The evidence shows that PEScience Amino IV Watermelon is a supplement containing calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for your health, you should be aware of its specific benefits and potential risks before adding this product to your routine [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium functions as a key structural component for your bones, supporting bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the material that keeps your skeleton strong and your muscles functioning smoothly.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement products [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in your 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]. 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 carefully consider your total daily calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. If you take any of the medications listed that interact with calcium, take this supplement at a different time of day. Data on the exact amount of calcium in this specific product is not available, so you should check the label carefully. If you have concerns about your calcium levels or heart health, speak with your healthcare provider before use [NIH ODS].
