Our assessment
The evidence shows that MRM Cal-Mag-Zinc Liquid Strawberry provides a combination of minerals that support specific bodily functions. Our assessment: Based on the available data, this product can help you meet your calcium needs, but you should be aware of important safety considerations. The calcium in this supplement is essential for bone health, but the data does not provide specific amounts for the magnesium and zinc content in this formula [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a signal regulator for your muscles and nerves. The calcium in this liquid formula supports bone mineralization for density and helps your muscles relax after contracting, which is critical for normal movement and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories, though specific data for this product is not available. For calcium specifically, the data warns that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Excess calcium in the blood and urine can cause 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] [FDA data]. Calcium supplements may also reduce the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total daily calcium intake from food and other supplements. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level without medical supervision. Take this liquid calcium product separately from any prescription medications by at least two hours to avoid absorption interference. If you have a history of kidney stones, heart disease, or take thyroid medication, consult your doctor before using this supplement [NIH ODS].
