MRM Cal-Mag-Zinc Liquid Strawberry
Brand: MRM · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that MRM Cal-Mag-Zinc Liquid Strawberry provides calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and muscle function. However, the data we have is limited to calcium only, and we cannot assess the magnesium or zinc components from the provided information. Our assessment is that calcium is well-supported for bone mineralization, but you should be aware of potential risks at high intakes [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your skeleton. It supports bone density through bone mineralization and helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly after contraction [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement products, but specific report counts for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels 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 can also reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. The data does not provide a specific daily dose for this liquid product, so follow the label instructions carefully. To minimize risks, do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level of 2,500 mg per day from all sources [NIH ODS]. Take calcium separately from the medications listed in the interactions section. For a complete assessment of this product, data on magnesium and zinc is not available.
