Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Endurance Amino. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used in amounts commonly found in foods.
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately. Alpha-alanine 100-140 mg/kg daily has been used with apparent safety for up to 3 months (16026,16027,16444). A single dose of alanine 40 grams has also been used with apparent safety (14612,16019,16020).
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY SAFE
when used orally and appropriately, short-term.
Alanine 90 mmol/L, as a component of an oral rehydration solution, has been used with apparent safety for approximately 48 hours in children age 3-48 months (16021).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: LIKELY SAFE
when used in amounts commonly found in foods.
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of using larger amounts as medicine during pregnancy or lactation.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately. BCAAs 12 grams daily have not been associated with significant adverse effects in studies lasting for up to 2 years (68,72,73,74,10117,10146,10147,37120,92643,97531,103351,103352). ...when used intravenously and appropriately. BCAAs are an FDA-approved injectable product (13309).
CHILDREN: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally in dietary amounts of 71-134 mg/kg daily (11120,13308).
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY SAFE
when larger, supplemental doses are used orally and appropriately for up to 6 months (13307,13308,37127).
PREGNANCY:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using amounts greater than those found in food.
Although adverse effects have not been reported in humans, some animal research suggests that consumption of supplemental isoleucine, a BCAA, during the first half of pregnancy may have variable effects on birth weight, possibly due to abnormal placental development (103350).
LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using amounts greater than those found in food.
Although the safety of increased BCAA consumption during lactation is unclear, some clinical research suggests that a higher concentration of isoleucine and leucine in breastmilk during the first 6 months postpartum is not associated with infant growth or body composition at 2 weeks, 2 months, or 6 months (108466).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally in doses up to 500 mg daily for up to 2 months (5361,5362,97394,97396,97399,104392). ...when used by inhalation in doses of 600 mg twice daily for up to 3 days (5367,5368,5369). ...when used intramuscularly (5374,5375,5384). ...when used as an intravenous injection (5344,5354,5357,5358,5359,5360,5373,5374,5377,5378,5380).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.

Theoretically, BCAAs might alter the effects of antidiabetes medications.

BCAAs in large doses can reduce the effects of levodopa.
Details
BCAAs may compete with levodopa for transport systems in the intestine and brain and decrease the effectiveness of levodopa (66,2719). Small clinical studies how that concomitant ingestion of protein or high doses of leucine or isoleucine (100 mg/kg) and levodopa can exacerbate tremor, rigidity, and the "on-off" syndrome in patients with Parkinson disease (3291,3292,3293,3294).

General ...There is currently a limited amount of information on the adverse effects of alanine.
General
...Orally or intravenously, BCAAs are generally well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Abdominal distension, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting.
All routes of administration: High doses can lead to fatigue and loss of motor coordination.
Cardiovascular ...Orally, a single case of hypertension following the use of BCAAs has been reported (37143).
Dermatologic ...Orally, a single case of skin blanching following the use of BCAAs has been reported (681). It is not known if this effect was due to use of BCAAs or other factors.
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, BCAAs can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal distension. Nausea and diarrhea has been reported to occur in about 10% of people taking BCAAs (10117,37143,92643,97531).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally and intravenously, BCAAs can cause fatigue and loss of motor coordination due to increased plasma ammonia levels (693,694,10117). Short-term use of 60 grams of BCAAs containing leucine, isoleucine, and valine for 7 days in patients with normal metabolic function seems to increase levels of ammonia, but not to toxic plasma levels (10117). However, liver function should be monitored with high doses or long-term use (10117). Due to the potential of increased plasma levels of ammonia and subsequent fatigue and loss of motor coordination, BCAAs should be used cautiously before or during activities where performance depends on motor coordination (75). Orally, BCAAs may also cause headache, but this has only been reported in one clinical trial (681).
General
...Glutathione seems to be well tolerated; however, a thorough evaluation of safety outcomes has not been conducted.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Inhaled: Bronchoconstriction and shortness of breath.
Dermatologic ...Topically, glutathione has resulted in an intolerable rash and irritability in five children (90637).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Inhaled (nebulized) glutathione can cause airway narrowing and bronchoconstriction resulting in shortness of breath and cough in patients with asthma (5372).
