PhysioLogics Calsorb Calcium Magnesium Complex
Brand: PhysioLogics · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the calcium in PhysioLogics Calsorb Calcium Magnesium Complex is essential for bone health. Our assessment: for most adults, this supplement can help you meet your daily calcium needs, but you must be careful with total intake from all sources to avoid risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly. This complex pairs calcium with magnesium, which supports these same systems [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes can lead to constipation, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms. Extremely high levels in the blood may cause poor muscle tone, kidney issues, weight loss, and extreme tiredness. Some research links high calcium intakes to an increased risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Take this supplement only if your diet is low in calcium. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, and thyroid medication. Space your supplement at least two hours apart from these drugs. Do not exceed the total daily recommended intake from food and supplements combined [NIH ODS].
