Our assessment
The evidence shows that KAL Magnesium Taurate+ 400 mg is formulated to deliver a specific form of magnesium. However, based strictly on the data provided, we cannot confirm the specific health benefits of this product because the only detailed ingredient information available is for calcium, not magnesium. The data does not include any studies or mechanism details for magnesium taurate itself. For any health claims, you would need to look to the product label for the specific dosage and ingredients.
How it works
The available data describes how calcium works in the body. It supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. Data not available for the mechanism of magnesium taurate specifically. The product label is your best source for how the active ingredients in this supplement are intended to function.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories [FDA data]. For the ingredient calcium, safety risks include that high 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]. Data not available for the specific side effects or report counts for magnesium taurate.
Our recommendation
Because the data provided does not include studies, mechanisms, or side effect reports for magnesium taurate, we cannot make a specific recommendation for this product. You should consult the product label for dosing information and talk to your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you take medications. Calcium supplements can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. A pharmacist can help you time your doses to avoid these interactions.
