AFI At 21 Weeks Of Pregnancy Is 8.08cms, Advised Amino Care. Will It Harm The Fetus?

Hi ! I am 31 yrs old and pregnant for the first time. I am at my 22 weeks of pregnancy with AFI 8.08 cms (lower level of normal limit) . My Dr has asked me to take Amino Core IE for 3 days. I am already taking Amino acid supplements. I am really confused as somebody has also told me that Amino infusion at this 22 week might may harm the baby or the mother. Please suggest
