Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product, PS ProSupps PS XXIII Liquid Amino Berry, contains the mineral calcium. For calcium, our assessment is that it is a foundational nutrient for bone health, but supplementation requires careful consideration of dosage and total intake. You should not assume that more is better, as the data highlights significant risks at high levels [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block and a signaling messenger. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is essential for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This means it helps your bones stay strong and your muscles and nerves function properly.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement products. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from high calcium levels in the blood and urine include 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
Our recommendation is to check your total daily calcium intake from all sources (food and supplements) before adding this product. Do not exceed 2,000-2,500 mg total per day from all sources, as the risk of side effects increases above this level [NIH ODS]. If you take any of the listed medications, take calcium at a different time of day to avoid absorption interference [NIH ODS]. Data on the specific amino acids in this product is not available.
