Nature's Plus Amino Acid Complex Potassium 99 mg
Brand: Nature's Plus · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this supplement provides 99 mg of potassium, but the specific ingredient list is not available from the data provided. For the calcium component, our assessment is that while calcium is essential for bone health, you should be aware of the risks associated with high intake. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you check your total calcium intake from all sources — food and supplements — to avoid exceeding safe levels. If you take any of the listed medications, separate your calcium supplement by at least two hours. Data on the specific benefits of the potassium 99 mg provided here is not available. Speak with your healthcare provider to see if this supplement is right for you [NIH ODS].
