New Sun Magnesium Blend
Brand: New Sun · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this New Sun Magnesium Blend contains calcium, which is a critical mineral for bone health. However, we have no data on the specific amount of calcium in this product, so we cannot confirm if it provides a meaningful dose. The data confirms that calcium's primary role is in bone mineralization and neuromuscular function [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it also plays a key role in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without adequate calcium, your body will pull it from your bones, which can weaken them over time.
Safety profile
We have data on calcium's safety profile from the NIH. Some research suggests that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium in the blood and urine can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for products like this, though report counts specific to this blend are not available [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the label data for this specific product is not available, we cannot recommend a specific dose. If you choose to use this supplement, check the label for the exact amount of calcium per serving. For general bone health, you should aim for the RDA from all sources. Always take calcium supplements with food to improve absorption, and separate them from the medications listed above by at least two hours [NIH ODS].
