PhysioLogics Magnesium Complex
Brand: PhysioLogics · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
Our assessment: This product contains Calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and muscle function [NIH ODS]. The evidence shows that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, the data provided does not include specific information about the other ingredients in the PhysioLogics Magnesium Complex, so we cannot evaluate the complete formula. For calcium specifically, you should be aware of important safety considerations before supplementing.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a nerve relaxant. It works through bone mineralization to support bone density and mineral deposition, and through neuromuscular relaxation to support muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This dual role makes it critical for both your skeletal strength and your body's ability to send and receive nerve signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but data on reports specific to this product is not available. 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the data provided does not specify the amount of calcium in this PhysioLogics Magnesium Complex or list the other ingredients, we cannot give a specific dosage recommendation for this product. If you choose to use this supplement, be cautious about your total calcium intake from all sources, including food and other supplements, to avoid exceeding safe levels [NIH ODS]. Consult your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you take any of the medications listed that interact with calcium [NIH ODS]. For a more complete assessment, you would need to provide the full ingredient list and amounts from the product label.
