Solgar Magnesium Citrate
Brand: Solgar · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Solgar Magnesium Citrate is a well-regarded supplement for supporting muscle and nerve function. However, based on the data provided, we cannot make specific claims about this product because the ingredient data available is for calcium, not magnesium citrate. Data on the specific effects and interactions of magnesium citrate is not available from the provided sources.
How it works
While we lack data on magnesium citrate, the mechanism of a related mineral, calcium, is well-documented. Calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. This means it helps your bones stay dense and supports proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling. For magnesium citrate, you would need to consult a different evidence source.
Safety profile
Data on adverse events for Solgar Magnesium Citrate specifically is not available. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but this number is not specific to this product [FDA data]. For the ingredient calcium, high levels can cause poor muscle tone, constipation, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the data provided covers calcium rather than magnesium citrate, we cannot offer a confident recommendation for this specific product. You should speak with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement. If you are looking for a magnesium supplement, ensure you check the label for the exact form and dosage, and always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
