Our assessment
The evidence shows that Cellucor Alpha Amino Lemon Lime contains Calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment is that this product may support bone health and muscle function, but you need to be aware of important safety considerations and potential medication interactions before using it.
How it works
Calcium is a master regulator for your body — it supports bone mineralization and density, and it plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of it as the material your body uses to keep your bones strong and your muscles working properly.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check with your doctor before using this product, especially if you take medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Data not available on the exact calcium dose in this product, so consult the label and your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
