Endo-Met Laboratories Magnesium
Brand: Endo-Met Laboratories · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the calcium in Endo-Met Laboratories Magnesium is a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function [NIH ODS]. However, you need to be aware that this product contains calcium, and high intakes carry specific risks. The data confirms that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key player in nerve signaling. It helps your body maintain bone density and supports muscle relaxation after contraction [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from very high levels include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Since this product is labeled as a magnesium supplement, but the data only covers the calcium ingredient, you should check the label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. If you are taking any medications listed above, take calcium at least two hours apart. Do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level unless directed by your doctor [NIH ODS]. For a full analysis of the magnesium content, data is not available.
