Anabolic Laboratories Clinical Magnesium
Brand: Anabolic Laboratories · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that magnesium is a foundational mineral, but this specific product contains calcium, not magnesium, according to the ingredient data provided. Our assessment is based on the calcium data available. For bone health and nerve function, calcium is essential, but you need to be precise with dosing and aware of significant risks [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a signal conductor. It supports bone mineralization, helping maintain bone density, and is critical for neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Your body uses it to keep your heart rhythm steady and your muscles contracting properly.
Safety profile
Data on adverse events is limited for this specific product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements in this category. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine levels of calcium 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 medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the product label is not fully provided, we cannot confirm its exact formulation. Do not take this supplement without first checking the label to see if it contains calcium or magnesium. If it is calcium, take it with food and separate from thyroid medication or antibiotics by at least 2 hours [NIH ODS]. Do not exceed the RDA without a doctor's guidance due to the serious heart and kidney risks [NIH ODS].
