Our assessment
The evidence shows that BSN Amino X Unflavored contains calcium as a listed ingredient, but specific dosage and other ingredient details are not available from the provided data. Calcium is well-documented for its role in bone health, but you should be aware of both its benefits and significant risks before using this product [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the building block for strong bones and the messenger that helps your muscles relax properly after contracting.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, safety concerns include that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the 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] [FDA data].
