MuscleTech Performance Series Amino Build Next Gen Energized Orange Mango Cooler

Our assessment

The evidence shows that MuscleTech Performance Series Amino Build Next Gen Energized Orange Mango Cooler contains calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment: based on the data provided, this product may support bone health, but you should be aware of significant safety considerations and medication interactions before using it [NIH ODS].

How it works

Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton and a signal conductor for your muscles and nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

Data not available for this specific product's adverse event reports. However, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, 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].

Our recommendation

You should be cautious with this product. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. If you take any of these medications, take this supplement at a different time of day. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider before use, as the risk profile for calcium is significant and data on this specific product's effects is limited [NIH ODS].
