Pure Encapsulations Men's Pure Pack Magnesium (Citrate)
Brand: Pure Encapsulations · Form: SUPPLEMENT FORM, OTHER [E0172]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the Pure Encapsulations Men's Pure Pack Magnesium (Citrate) is a straightforward mineral supplement. However, the data provided is primarily about calcium, not magnesium. For calcium, the data confirms it supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. Since the product label lists magnesium citrate as the ingredient, you should be aware that the specific health benefits and risks for magnesium are not detailed in the information provided. Data not available for magnesium-specific mechanisms or benefits from the current data set.
How it works
Based on the data for calcium, which is a different mineral, think of it as a structural and signaling agent — it helps your body maintain bone density and supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the actual magnesium citrate in this product, specific mechanisms are not provided in the data. Data not available for magnesium-specific mechanisms.
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements in the data set, but the data does not break down reports specifically for Pure Encapsulations Men's Pure Pack Magnesium (Citrate). For calcium, which is not the primary ingredient here, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and can cause constipation, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. Data not available for magnesium-specific side effects or report counts from the provided FDA data.
Our recommendation
Because the data provided is for calcium and not for the magnesium citrate in this product, we cannot make a specific recommendation based on the available evidence. You should consult the product label for dosage and speak with your healthcare provider about whether magnesium citrate is appropriate for your individual needs. Data not available to support a specific daily dose or form recommendation for this product.
