Dr. Sinatra Magnesium Broad-Spectrum Complex
Brand: Dr. Sinatra · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Dr. Sinatra Magnesium Broad-Spectrum Complex is a supplement containing calcium, a mineral with well-documented roles in bone health and nerve function. Our assessment: this product may support bone density and muscle relaxation, but you need to be aware of the safety data, which includes a very high number of FDA adverse event reports. Data not available on the specific magnesium blend in this product.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural and signaling mineral. It works through two primary mechanisms: Bone mineralization supports bone density and mineral deposition, and neuromuscular relaxation supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category. Specific side effects from the calcium data include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease. High calcium intakes might also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking if you actually need a calcium supplement. Calcium can reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. We recommend consulting your doctor before starting this supplement, especially given the high number of adverse event reports and the potential for serious side effects at high levels [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
