Our assessment
The evidence shows that BSN Amino X Fruit Punch contains the ingredient calcium, which plays a critical role in your body. However, the data does not specify the exact amount of calcium per serving, so we cannot assess whether the dosage is effective or safe for you [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural and signaling powerhouse. It supports bone mineralization to keep your skeleton dense, and it aids neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly after a workout [NIH ODS].
