Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a well-studied mineral for bone health, but the data for this specific product is incomplete. The label information is listed as "See label," so we cannot confirm the exact dose or form of calcium in Genestra Brands Magnesium. Based on the ingredient data, calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should verify the specific calcium content on the product label before use.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which helps keep your bones strong. Calcium also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's side effects. FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for calcium are not provided. Based on general data, high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, kidney function issues, 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 like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Check the product label for the exact calcium dose, as the data provided lists it as "See label." If you take medications for thyroid conditions, osteoporosis, or infections, be aware of potential absorption issues [NIH ODS]. Start with a low dose and monitor for digestive discomfort. For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider, especially if you have a history of kidney stones or heart conditions [NIH ODS].
