Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Dymatize Nutrition Liquid Super Amino Berry is Calcium. For general health, this mineral plays a critical role, but it is not a substitute for a complete protein or amino acid supplement. Data not available on the specific amino acid profile of this product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key messenger for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it is essential for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This means it helps your muscles relax after contracting and ensures your nerves communicate properly.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, though specific reports for this product are not available. High levels of calcium in the 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]. Some research also suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
If you are using this product for calcium, be aware it can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Our assessment: take this supplement at least two hours apart from any medications. Start with the serving size on the label, and do not exceed the recommended daily intake for calcium without consulting your healthcare provider.
