Double Wood Supplements Magnesium Malate 1500 mg
Brand: Double Wood Supplements · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Double Wood Supplements Magnesium Malate 1500 mg is a product containing calcium, not magnesium malate as the name suggests. Based on the data provided, we cannot confirm the amount of magnesium or malate, nor can we verify the intended benefits of magnesium malate supplementation. For calcium specifically, the data supports its role in bone health, but the product labeling appears inconsistent with its ingredient profile [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. However, because the product label claims magnesium malate but the ingredient list shows calcium, you should be cautious about what you are actually taking. The mechanism described here applies only to calcium, not to the intended magnesium malate.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category. Side effects associated with high calcium intake include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [FDA data] [NIH ODS]. High calcium intakes might also increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Data not available for side effects specific to magnesium malate from this product.
Our recommendation
We recommend you do not rely on this product based on the data provided. The product name and ingredient list do not match, which raises a serious concern about data integrity. If you are seeking magnesium malate, look for a product where the label and ingredient list are consistent. For calcium, the RDA for most adults is 1,000–1,200 mg daily from food and supplements, but take it with a meal and separate from medications like thyroid hormone or antibiotics by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS]. Always consult your pharmacist or doctor before starting a new supplement.
