Brand: Cellucor · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Cellucor Alpha Amino Xtreme Fruit Punch contains the mineral calcium. For general health, calcium supports bone density and muscle function [NIH ODS]. However, this product is not primarily marketed as a calcium supplement, and you should not rely on it to meet your daily calcium needs. Data on the specific amounts of calcium in this product is not available in the provided information.
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your bones and a signal conductor for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Based on FDA adverse event data, there are 592,059 total reports across all supplement products, though specific reports for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from very high calcium levels include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Do not use this product as your primary calcium source. If you are taking any medications listed in the interactions, separate your dose by at least 2 hours. For your daily calcium needs, consult your healthcare provider about a dedicated calcium supplement. Data on the exact calcium content in this specific product is not available, so you cannot reliably dose it for bone health [NIH ODS].
