PhysioLogics Magnesium Complex
Brand: PhysioLogics · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the PhysioLogics Magnesium Complex is a mineral supplement, but the data provided contains information on calcium, not magnesium. Based on the available data, calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. For magnesium-specific benefits, data is not available.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder — it helps your bones maintain density and supports muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Without specific data on the magnesium complex, we cannot describe how the magnesium component functions.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. 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].
Our recommendation
We recommend checking the specific label for the magnesium content and dosage. For calcium, be aware that it can reduce absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Consult with your healthcare provider before starting this supplement.
