Nootropics Depot Magnesium Glycinate Capsules 800 mg
Brand: Nootropics Depot · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that while this product is labeled as Magnesium Glycinate, the only ingredient data provided is for calcium. Based on that data, calcium is essential for bone health and muscle function, but supplementation requires careful consideration of your total dietary intake. For this specific product, key safety and interaction data are only available for the calcium component [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your skeleton and a signal messenger for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization and helps with neuromuscular relaxation, allowing your muscles to contract and relax properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for magnesium glycinate specifically. For calcium, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Taking too much can lead to poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but the report count specific to this product is not available [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Before taking this supplement, check your total calcium intake from food and other supplements. If you are taking medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, take calcium at least two hours apart to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS]. For magnesium glycinate specifically, the data provided is insufficient to make a confident recommendation.
