Cellucor Alpha Amino Lemon Lime

Our assessment

The evidence shows that Cellucor Alpha Amino Lemon Lime contains calcium, which is a well-studied mineral for bone health. However, we must be clear: the data provided does not list the specific amount of calcium in this product, nor does it confirm that the product contains any other active ingredients. Our assessment is that you should approach this supplement with caution, as the incomplete ingredient information limits our ability to give a full recommendation.

How it works

Calcium works as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is also critical for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of calcium as the key that helps your muscles relax after a contraction and your nerves send signals smoothly.

Safety profile

Data not available for this specific product’s adverse events. However, for calcium in general, 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]. The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available [FDA data].

Our recommendation

Because the exact amount of calcium and other ingredients in Cellucor Alpha Amino Lemon Lime is not provided, we cannot recommend this product for targeted use. If you are considering it for athletic recovery or daily nutrition, we advise you to look for a product with a complete ingredient label. Always check with your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement, especially if you take medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS].
