Our assessment
The evidence shows that Cellucor Alpha Amino Grape is a product that contains the mineral calcium. Our assessment is based solely on the data for this ingredient. For general bone health and nerve function, calcium is essential, but the specific benefits of this product depend on its full formula [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium in this product acts as a key structural component for your bones and teeth through a process called bone mineralization, where it helps deposit and maintain bone density. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly after exercise or daily activity [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for specific adverse events for this product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, but specific report counts for Cellucor Alpha Amino Grape are not provided. Based on the calcium content, high intake can cause constipation, nausea, and weight loss. Very high levels of calcium in the blood may lead to poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
You should be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. For this reason, take this product at least two hours apart from these medications. If you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or prostate cancer, talk to your doctor before using this supplement [NIH ODS].
