Nature Made Magnesium 250 mg
Brand: Nature Made · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains 250 mg of magnesium per serving. Our assessment is that magnesium is a well-recognized mineral for supporting muscle and nerve function, but you should know that the data provided specifically covers calcium, not magnesium. For calcium, the data shows it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of this mineral as a key regulator for your body's systems. The data indicates that calcium, a related mineral, works through bone mineralization to support bone density and through neuromuscular relaxation to support muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Data for the specific mechanism of magnesium is not available in the provided information.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements in the dataset. For the calcium data provided, high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Specific side effects for magnesium and their report counts are not available in the provided data.
Our recommendation
Our recommendation is that you start with the dosage listed on the label. Be aware that calcium supplements can reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data for specific interactions with magnesium is not available. For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
