MRM Cal-Mag-Zinc Liquid Orange-Vanilla Flavor
Brand: MRM · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that MRM Cal-Mag-Zinc Liquid provides three essential minerals, but the key ingredient to focus on is calcium. For most adults, getting calcium from food is preferred, and supplementation should be approached carefully due to potential risks at high intakes. We advise you to evaluate your total daily calcium intake before adding this supplement [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural support for your skeleton and a signaling molecule for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density and mineralization, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS]. The liquid form in this product may be easier for you to swallow than large tablets.
Safety profile
FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available. You should be aware that high calcium intakes from supplements might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, nausea, constipation, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, 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
Start by calculating your daily calcium intake from food. Most adults need 1,000 to 1,200 mg total per day. If you are falling short, this liquid supplement can help fill the gap, but do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level. Take it with food and separate it from any thyroid or antibiotic medications by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS].
