Newflower Farmers Markets Amino Acid Chelated Magnesium
Brand: Newflower Farmers Markets · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that while this product is labeled as a magnesium supplement, the data provided is for calcium. This is a critical distinction. Based on the available data, we cannot assess the effectiveness or safety of the magnesium in this specific product. For the ingredient calcium, the data shows it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural and signaling mineral. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is essential for strong bones. It also plays a role in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling, helping your body function smoothly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all dietary supplements. For calcium specifically, the data notes that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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
Because the data provided is exclusively for calcium, not magnesium, we cannot make a recommendation for this specific product. If you are seeking magnesium, look for a product with a clear label specifying the type and amount of magnesium. If you are considering a calcium supplement, consult your healthcare provider first to determine if you need one, as high intakes carry significant risks [NIH ODS].
