PhysioLogics Magnesium Complex
Brand: PhysioLogics · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the calcium component in PhysioLogics Magnesium Complex is well-documented for its role in bone health. However, data on the complete formula is limited. You should be aware that calcium from any source carries specific risks and interactions that require careful management [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, while also helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. This mineral works in concert with other nutrients to maintain your body’s framework and daily function.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Elevated blood and urine calcium levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should check your total calcium intake from all sources before adding this supplement. Calcium can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Data on the full PhysioLogics Magnesium Complex formula is not available, so consult your healthcare provider to ensure this product fits your specific needs.
