Cellucor Alpha Amino Watermelon
Brand: Cellucor · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary ingredient in Cellucor Alpha Amino Watermelon is calcium, but data on the specific product's formulation is limited. Calcium is well-known for supporting bone health, but our assessment is that this product's benefits depend entirely on your individual dietary needs and overall calcium intake [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton. It works through bone mineralization to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly after exercise [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products. For calcium specifically, 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 [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend checking your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements before adding this product. Calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin. If you take these medications, separate your calcium intake by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS].
