Cellucor Alpha Amino Icy Blue Razz
Brand: Cellucor · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Cellucor Alpha Amino Icy Blue Razz contains the mineral calcium. While calcium is essential for bone health, our assessment is that this product’s primary benefit comes from its role in muscle function and recovery, not from being a complete multivitamin or mineral replacement. You should not rely on this supplement alone to meet your daily calcium needs [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a master regulator for your muscles and bones. It supports bone mineralization, helping maintain bone density, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly after exercise [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, from the FDA adverse event database, there are 592,059 total reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. For most adults, the goal is around 1,000 mg per day from all sources [NIH ODS]. If you take any of the medications listed above, take this supplement at least two hours apart from them. Do not exceed 2,000–2,500 mg total calcium per day from all sources without medical supervision [NIH ODS].
