Dymatize Nutrition Liquid Super Amino Berry

Our assessment

The evidence shows that Dymatize Nutrition Liquid Super Amino Berry is a supplement containing calcium. Based on the data provided, we cannot verify any specific health benefits for this product beyond what is known about calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is an essential mineral, you should approach this product with caution as the specific formulation and amino acid content are not supported by the provided data.

How it works

Calcium supports bone mineralization by helping your body build and maintain bone density. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, aiding in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. The "Super Amino" claim on the label suggests the product contains amino acids, but no data on their specific actions or amounts is available for this analysis.

Safety profile

Data not available for this specific product's adverse events. However, FDA has 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 [NIH ODS]. High blood and urine calcium levels can cause 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

We recommend you consult your healthcare provider before using this product. Since the specific amino acid content and dosage are not detailed in the available data, we cannot determine if this supplement is appropriate for your needs. Focus on getting your calcium from food sources first, and only use supplements if advised by a clinician based on your individual health status and medication use [NIH ODS].
