Dymatize Nutrition Liquid Super Amino 23,000 mg Berry

Our assessment

The evidence shows that while this product contains amino acids, the data provided focuses on the ingredient calcium, which is present but not quantified in the product label. Our assessment is that without a specific dosage for each amino acid, we cannot evaluate the primary intended effects of this supplement. The calcium content, if significant, supports bone health, but the data does not allow for a full evaluation of the product’s claims [NIH ODS].

How it works

If this product provides a meaningful amount of calcium, it would function through two key mechanisms. First, it supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and structural strength. Second, it plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, aiding in proper muscle function and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. The specific actions of the amino acid blend are not detailed in the provided data.

Safety profile

The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all dietary supplements. For the calcium component, safety concerns include that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS] [FDA data].

Our recommendation

We recommend you consult with your healthcare provider before starting this product, especially since the exact amino acid profile and dosage are not specified in the data provided. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like thyroid hormone and certain antibiotics, so timing of use is important if you take those [NIH ODS]. Without more specific data, we cannot make a stronger recommendation for this specific product.

Supplement labels contain several key sections regulated by the FDA:

• Serving Size — The recommended amount per dose. Always check this — some products require multiple capsules per serving.
• Amount Per Serving — Shows the quantity of each nutrient in the product, typically in IU (International Units), mg (milligrams), or mcg (micrograms).
• % Daily Value (%DV) — Indicates how much a nutrient in a serving contributes to a daily diet. 5% DV or less is low; 20% DV or more is high.
• Other Ingredients — Lists inactive ingredients like fillers, binders, and capsule materials (e.g., gelatin, cellulose, magnesium stearate).
• Suggested Use — The manufacturer's recommended directions for taking the supplement, including timing and dosage.
