Nature's Lab Magnesium Soothe 350 mg Raspberry Lemon
Brand: Nature's Lab · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
Our assessment: While this product is labeled as a magnesium supplement, the only ingredient data available is for calcium. The evidence shows that calcium is critical for bone health, but taking it without a clear need carries risks. You should not assume this product provides magnesium benefits based on the available data [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 plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine can cause 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] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Data not available for the specific magnesium content of this product. If you are seeking a magnesium supplement, you should choose a product with a clear, verified label. If you are considering calcium, talk to your doctor first, as calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
