Freeda Magnesium Gluconate
Brand: Freeda · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Freeda Magnesium Gluconate is a specific formulation of magnesium, but the data provided does not contain direct information on this exact product. Instead, the available data focuses on calcium. For calcium, our assessment is that it plays a critical role in bone health and nerve function, but supplementation requires careful attention to dosage and potential risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your bones and a signal carrier for your nerves. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may 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] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for Freeda Magnesium Gluconate specifically. For calcium, do not exceed the recommended intake without medical supervision. If you take any of the listed medications, separate your calcium supplement by at least two hours. Always consult your doctor before starting a new supplement [NIH ODS].
