NutraBio Potassium Amino Acid Complex 99 mg
Brand: NutraBio · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains 99 mg of potassium as an amino acid complex, but the most robust data available relates to the calcium content of the supplement. Data not available for potassium-specific benefits at this dose. Calcium is essential for bone mineralization and neuromuscular function, but the amount in this product is not specified for calcium [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton — it supports bone density through mineralization and helps your muscles relax after contracting. It also plays a role in nerve signaling, allowing your nerves to communicate properly with your muscles [NIH ODS]. Potassium, as an amino acid complex, may help support electrolyte balance, but specific mechanism data is not provided for this form.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from excessive calcium include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total daily intake from food and other supplements. Be aware that calcium can reduce absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin — take this product at least 2 hours apart from those drugs [NIH ODS]. Given the limited specific data on the potassium amino acid complex, consult your healthcare provider to determine if this product meets your individual needs.
