Energetic Nutrition Magnesium Citrate
Brand: Energetic Nutrition · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product, Energetic Nutrition Magnesium Citrate, contains calcium, not magnesium as its primary identified ingredient. For bone health and nerve function, calcium is a well-studied mineral, but you must be careful with dosing and potential interactions. Data for the specific "magnesium citrate" claim is not available.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural and signaling mineral. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, which is critical for your skeleton. It also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports for this product category. Specific side effects from high calcium intake can include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms. High levels may also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
We recommend you verify the label of your specific bottle to confirm you are taking magnesium citrate, not calcium. If this is a calcium supplement, take it with food to improve absorption and avoid taking it at the same time as antibiotics or thyroid medication, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS]. Start with a low dose and monitor for digestive upset. For a magnesium product, data on this specific formulation is not available.
