Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data on calcium is mixed regarding safety at high intakes, and we must be clear that the specific formulation of California Academy of Health Liquid Advanced Amino Acids has no independent efficacy data. You should view this product primarily as a calcium supplement, and the general data on calcium applies here [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium is a master regulator for your skeleton and nervous system. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through a process called bone mineralization. Additionally, it supports neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of 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. For calcium, the data shows you should stick to the recommended dietary allowance and avoid high-dose supplementation without medical supervision. If you take any medications on the interaction list, take calcium at a separate time. We cannot recommend this specific product due to missing data on its unique formulation [NIH ODS].
