How it works
Calcium functions as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain bone density. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which aids in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all products, though this number is not specific to Cellucor Alpha Amino. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you take Cellucor Alpha Amino Lemon Lime, be aware of your total daily calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements. Because high calcium intakes carry significant risks, do not exceed recommended dietary levels without medical supervision. If you take any of the listed medications, consult your doctor before using this product, as calcium can interfere with their absorption [NIH ODS]. For a complete assessment of this product, data on its other ingredients is needed.
