Our assessment
The evidence shows that MRM Cal-Mag-Zinc Liquid Orange-Vanilla provides a combination of minerals that serve distinct roles in your body. Our assessment is that this product can be a useful supplement for supporting bone health, but you must be aware of the specific risks and interactions associated with calcium. Data on the exact amounts of each mineral in this specific product is not available, so you should consult the label for precise dosing.
How it works
Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton. It works through bone mineralization to support bone density and mineral deposition. It also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, which supports proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports for products in this category. For calcium specifically, some research suggests that 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]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking the label for the exact serving size and calcium content. If you take any medications, especially those listed above, separate your supplement dose by at least 2 hours. We recommend you do not exceed the tolerable upper intake level for calcium without medical supervision. For personalized advice, consult with your healthcare provider [NIH ODS].
