NutraBio Potassium Amino Acid Complex 99 Milligrams
Brand: NutraBio · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product provides 99 milligrams of a potassium amino acid complex, but the data on potassium is not available. What we can evaluate is the calcium content of the supplement. Our assessment: calcium is a mineral essential for bone health, but supplementing with it requires careful consideration of your total intake from food and other sources [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and signal messenger. It supports bone mineralization and density by depositing into your skeleton, and it helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, though data for this specific product is not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high levels 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 absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for this product's specific benefits. Do not rely on this supplement without first reviewing your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. If you are taking any medications listed in the interactions, consult your pharmacist or doctor before use. Start by getting your nutrient levels checked through a blood test to see if you truly need supplementation [NIH ODS].
