Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium as an active ingredient. For general health, calcium is essential, but our assessment is that you should approach any supplement containing this mineral with a clear understanding of your own dietary intake. Data on the specific combination of ingredients in "Super Amino Night" is limited, so we focus on the calcium component [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your body. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, though specific report counts for this product are not available in the data.

Our recommendation
Our recommendation is to first assess your daily calcium intake from food sources before adding this supplement. Be aware that calcium can reduce absorption of certain medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Start with a low dose and consult your healthcare provider if you take any of these medications.
