Our assessment
The evidence shows that New Sun Amino Multi Complex contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, for a general audience, it is critical to understand both the benefits and the risks associated with calcium intake. Our assessment is that you should approach this supplement with caution, as the data indicates potential for significant side effects and drug interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your bones and a signal messenger for your muscles and nerves. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is crucial for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available on the exact amount of calcium in this product. Because of the serious potential side effects and drug interactions, you should speak with your doctor before taking this supplement, especially if you take any prescription medications or have a history of kidney problems or heart disease [NIH ODS].
