Floradix Magnesium
Brand: Floradix · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Floradix Magnesium is a supplement designed to provide magnesium, but the critical data we have on hand is for calcium, not magnesium. Because the provided data does not include specific information on magnesium, we cannot make a direct assessment of this product's primary ingredient. Our analysis must rely strictly on the calcium data provided, which is the only ingredient information available [NIH ODS].
How it works
Based on the data for calcium, this mineral acts as a master regulator for your body's structural and nervous systems. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is essential for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. If this product contains calcium, it would function in these ways.
Safety profile
Data not available for magnesium specifically. For calcium, the FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. High calcium intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine calcium levels can cause poor muscle tone, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS] [FDA data]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and levothyroxine [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the provided data only covers calcium and not magnesium, we cannot recommend Floradix Magnesium with confidence. You should check the product's label for the exact form and dose of magnesium. For any supplement, you should consult your healthcare provider to ensure it is appropriate for your health needs and current medications [NIH ODS].
