Swanson Premium Brand Triple Magnesium Complex 400 mg
Brand: Swanson Premium Brand · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, the data provided does not include any specific information about "Triple Magnesium Complex" or its 400 mg dosage. Based on the available data, we can only assess the calcium component. For a complete assessment of this specific supplement, data on magnesium is required.
How it works
Calcium plays a critical role in your body. It supports bone mineralization, helping to maintain bone density and structure. It also aids in neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for all products in its database. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from excessively high blood and urine levels can include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Data on side effects specifically for this product is not available.
Our recommendation
Because the data provided only covers calcium, we cannot recommend this specific "Triple Magnesium Complex" product. If you are considering a magnesium supplement, look for a product with complete ingredient and safety data. For calcium, do not exceed recommended daily intakes without medical supervision, and be aware that calcium supplements can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting any new supplement.
