Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains Calcium, which is a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. However, the data does not provide specific dosage information for the Calcium in BSN Non-Caffeinated Amino X Strawberry Dragonfruit. Our assessment: Calcium is a well-researched ingredient, but without knowing the exact amount per serving, we cannot confirm if this product provides a meaningful or safe level of this mineral [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of Calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signal messenger for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density through mineralization and helps your muscles relax after contracting. It also plays a key role in nerve signaling throughout your body [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Safety data for this specific product is limited. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, but report counts specific to this supplement are not available. For Calcium generally, very high intakes can lead to poor muscle tone, constipation, nausea, weight loss, and abnormal heart rhythms. High calcium intake might also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you look at the supplement facts panel on the label to find the exact amount of Calcium per serving. If the dose is low (under 200 mg), it is likely a minor addition. If you rely on this product for calcium, compare it to the RDA of 1,000 mg for most adults. Also, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like thyroid medication and certain antibiotics, so take it at a different time of day if you use those [NIH ODS].
