Our assessment
The evidence shows that Cellucor Alpha Amino Mixed Berry contains calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential for health, the specific benefits of this product depend on whether you are already meeting your daily needs through food. Data not available on the exact amount of calcium per serving for this specific product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly after exercise [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Before taking this product, assess your total calcium intake from all sources. If you take medications for osteoporosis, thyroid conditions, or infections, separate your calcium dose by at least two hours. Because specific serving data is unavailable for this product, we cannot provide a precise daily recommendation. For most adults, getting 1,000 mg of calcium from food is a safe starting point [NIH ODS].
