Our assessment
Our assessment: Based on the data provided, GNC Pro Performance Ultra Amino Complex Fruit Punch contains calcium. The evidence shows that calcium is essential for bone health and nerve function, but you should be aware of potential risks and medication interactions before adding it to your routine [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, though specific report counts for this supplement are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Be cautious if you take medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Data not available on the exact calcium dose per serving, so consult your pharmacist or doctor to determine if this product fits your needs without exceeding safe intake levels.
