Good 'N Natural Magnesium 250 mg
Brand: Good 'N Natural · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Good 'N Natural Magnesium 250 mg is a standard-dose supplement. However, based on the data provided, we must be transparent: the active ingredient listed in the available data is calcium, not magnesium. This means our analysis will focus on calcium's documented effects. Our assessment is that you should verify the product label carefully, as the data we have does not confirm the magnesium content for this specific product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural backbone and a signal conductor. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for skeletal strength. Additionally, it supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling, helping your nervous system communicate effectively [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category. For calcium specifically, safety considerations are important. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the specific magnesium content of this product. Because the data shows a calcium profile rather than a magnesium one, we cannot confidently recommend this product for magnesium supplementation. We recommend you check the label to confirm the ingredient list. If you are seeking a magnesium supplement, look for a product with a clear magnesium compound (like magnesium glycinate or citrate) and consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen [NIH ODS].
