SuperSmart Magnesium Orotate 1500 mg
Brand: SuperSmart · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: The evidence for SuperSmart Magnesium Orotate 1500 mg is clear, but we must address a critical mismatch. The product label lists a 1500 mg dose, yet the only ingredient data provided is for calcium, not magnesium. The data confirms that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, without specific data on magnesium orotate, we cannot verify this product's intended benefits. You should be aware that supplement names don't always match their active ingredients.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves. It supports bone density through mineral deposition and helps your muscles relax after contraction by aiding nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For this specific product, data on how magnesium orotate works is not available.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product's adverse events. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific numbers for this product are not available [FDA data]. For calcium, high intakes can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium may also reduce absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: Do not take this product until you confirm its actual ingredient profile. The 1500 mg dose on the label does not match the calcium data provided. If you need a magnesium supplement, choose a product with a clearly labeled magnesium compound and dosage. For calcium, adults typically need 1,000–1,200 mg daily from food and supplements combined, but consult your healthcare provider first [NIH ODS].
