California Academy of Health Liquid Advanced Amino Acids
Brand: California Academy of Health · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, which is a mineral essential for bone health. However, the specific formulation of "Liquid Advanced Amino Acids" does not appear to match the typical profile of a calcium supplement, and data on its amino acid content is not available. Our assessment is that you should approach this product with caution, as its primary active ingredient based on the label is calcium, not amino acids.
How it works
Calcium is a master regulator for your body. It supports bone density and mineral deposition through bone mineralization, and it also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation by supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for all dietary supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium, side effects can include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and frequent need to urinate at high levels. Very high calcium intake may also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We recommend you do not use this product for amino acid support, as the data does not confirm amino acid content. If you are seeking calcium, consult your healthcare provider first to determine if supplementation is appropriate. They can check your blood levels and assess potential interactions with any medications you take [NIH ODS].
