Our assessment
The evidence shows that the key ingredient in Nutrex Research Black Series Amino Drive Strawberry Kiwi is Calcium.

Our assessment is that this product should be evaluated for its calcium content, not its protein-building claims. Data not available for other ingredients.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a nerve signaler. It works through bone mineralization, supporting bone density and mineral deposition, and through neuromuscular relaxation, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For you, this means it helps maintain strong bones and ensures your muscles and nerves function properly.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for products in this category. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the specific amino acid blend in this product. Our recommendation is to not rely on this product for amino acid support. If you are taking this for calcium, be aware of the potential side effects and medication interactions. Always check with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take prescription medications [NIH ODS].
