Cardiovascular Research Magnesium Taurate
Brand: Cardiovascular Research · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that while magnesium taurate is a specific form of magnesium, the data provided here focuses on calcium, not magnesium. Based on the available data, we cannot assess the benefits or risks of this specific magnesium taurate product. Data for the active ingredient magnesium is not available in the provided information.
How it works
Since the provided data covers calcium, you can think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones and a regulator for your muscles and nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, this mechanism does not apply to the magnesium taurate product you asked about.
Safety profile
For the ingredient calcium, the FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. Potential side effects from high calcium intake include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. High levels can also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Data for the safety profile of magnesium taurate specifically is not available.
Our recommendation
Our assessment: do not start this product based on the data provided. The available information only covers calcium, not magnesium taurate. For any supplement decision, you should consult with your healthcare provider who can review your specific health needs. Data for a clear recommendation on this specific product is not available.
