Nutra Sport Magnesium
Brand: Nutra Sport · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Nutra Sport Magnesium is calcium, not magnesium. For bone health and nerve function, calcium is a well-supported mineral, but the product name is misleading based on the data provided [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. The data does not specify the amount of calcium in this product, so you should check the label for exact dosing.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from excessive calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for the exact magnesium content in this product — the ingredient listed is calcium. If you are seeking a magnesium supplement, this product does not match its label claim based on the data provided. For calcium, check the label for dosage and take it separately from other medications to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
