Our assessment
The evidence shows that Cellucor Alpha Amino Icy Blue Razz contains calcium. Our assessment is that this ingredient supports bone density and muscle function, but you should be aware of important safety limits and potential medication interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a dual-purpose mineral. It works as a key building block for bone mineralization, helping maintain your bone density. It also supports neuromuscular relaxation, which means it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly after you exercise [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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
Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. Be aware that 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, separate your supplement by at least two hours. Data on the precise calcium dose in this product is not available, so consult your pharmacist or doctor before adding it to your routine.
