Anabolic Laboratories Mega Magnesium
Brand: Anabolic Laboratories · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: Mega Magnesium from Anabolic Laboratories is a mineral supplement, but the provided data focuses on calcium, not magnesium. The evidence shows that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. For this specific product, data on magnesium is not available in the provided information.
How it works
Think of the ingredient calcium as a dual-purpose regulator — it helps build and maintain bone density through mineralization and supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. These mechanisms are essential for your body's daily function.
Safety profile
FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from high blood or urine calcium levels include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Since the provided data does not include specific information on Mega Magnesium's magnesium content or its effects, we cannot make a product-specific recommendation. If you are considering calcium supplements, be aware that calcium can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this or any supplement.
