Our assessment
The evidence shows that the active ingredient in this product, calcium, is a critical mineral for bone and muscle health. However, the specific product label for BulkSupplements.com Magnesium Citrate is listed as "See label," and no ingredient data for magnesium citrate is provided in the data. Our assessment is based solely on the calcium data available, which indicates that calcium supports bone density and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural building block for your bones and a key regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone mineralization, helping to deposit minerals into your skeleton to maintain bone density, and it aids in neuromuscular relaxation by supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports for this product category. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. 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].
