Wonder Laboratories Magnesium
Brand: Wonder Laboratories · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that magnesium is a foundational mineral for numerous bodily functions. While data on this specific product is limited, general magnesium supplementation is well-supported for supporting muscle and nerve function. Data not available for this specific brand's formulation or independent testing.
How it works
Think of magnesium as a critical cofactor — it is involved in over 300 enzyme systems that regulate protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation [NIH ODS]. It also helps transport calcium and potassium across cell membranes, which is vital for nerve impulse conduction and muscle contraction [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 1,295 adverse event reports for magnesium-containing products. Reported side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal cramping, particularly with doses exceeding the tolerable upper intake level [FDA data] [NIH ODS]. Data not available for specific side effect report counts for this exact brand.
Our recommendation
Start with a standard dose of 310-420 mg daily for most adults, depending on age and gender [NIH ODS]. Choose a form like magnesium glycinate or citrate for better absorption and to minimize digestive upset [NIH ODS]. Consult your doctor before starting, especially if you have kidney issues or take prescription medications.
