BSN Non-Caffeinated Amino X Strawberry Orange
Brand: BSN · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in BSN Non-Caffeinated Amino X Strawberry Orange is calcium, based on the data provided. For general bone health and nerve function, calcium is a well-established supplement [NIH ODS]. However, the data does not include information on amino acids or other ingredients listed on the product label, so our assessment is limited to the calcium component only.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a signal messenger. It supports bone density through bone mineralization and helps your muscles relax and nerves communicate properly [NIH ODS]. This dual role is essential for everyday movement and overall cellular function.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from excessive calcium include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
For this product, our recommendation is limited by missing data. The calcium content is not specified on the label data provided. You should check the supplement facts panel for the exact amount of calcium per serving. If you are taking any of the medications listed above, take this supplement at least two hours apart from them [NIH ODS]. Speak with your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you have a history of kidney stones or heart conditions. Data on the non-caffeinated amino acid blend is not available.
