PhysioLogics Calsorb Calcium Magnesium Complex
Brand: PhysioLogics · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this calcium and magnesium complex can support your bone health, but you need to be aware of specific risks. Calcium is essential for bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, the data does not provide specific amounts of each mineral in this product, so we cannot verify the dose you would be receiving.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, while also helping your muscles relax and your nerves send proper signals [NIH ODS]. Magnesium works alongside calcium to support these functions, though specific data on magnesium from this product is not available.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories, though specific reports for this product are not available. Be cautious: some research suggests that high calcium 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Before taking this product, check the label to see the exact amounts of calcium and magnesium per serving. You should space calcium supplements apart from your thyroid medication or antibiotics by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS]. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake without consulting your doctor. If you experience constipation, nausea, or unusual tiredness, stop taking the supplement and speak with your healthcare provider [NIH ODS].
