KAL Magnesium Triple Source
Brand: KAL · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that KAL Magnesium Triple Source is a supplement designed to provide bone and nerve support. However, based on the data provided, the active ingredient listed is Calcium, not Magnesium. Our assessment is that you should verify the label carefully, as the data we have pertains to calcium supplementation.
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your skeleton. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is essential for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all products, but specific report counts for this product are not available. High calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High blood and urine calcium levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the data provided identifies this product's ingredient as Calcium rather than Magnesium, we recommend you read the product label to confirm the ingredient list before using. If you are taking calcium, be aware of potential interactions with medications and monitor for side effects. Data not available for a specific recommended dosage.
