Metabolic Maintenance Flavored Custom Amino Acid Base
Brand: Metabolic Maintenance · Form: POWDER [E0162] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Metabolic Maintenance Flavored Custom Amino Acid Base contains calcium as a key ingredient. Our assessment is that calcium is a well-studied mineral, but you need to be very careful with dosing and potential interactions. The data provided does not include specific benefits or studies for the amino acid base itself, so our analysis focuses on the calcium component. Data not available for the amino acid blend's specific effects.
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for your body. It supports bone mineralization, which means it helps build and maintain strong bone density. It also plays a critical role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total 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. Very high levels in your 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 with your doctor before using this product, especially if you take any prescription medications. Because the custom amino acid base has no specific safety data provided, and calcium carries significant risks at high doses, you should only use this under professional medical supervision. Data not available for a standard daily dose or specific benefit claims for this unique formulation [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
