Good 'N Natural Magnesium 250 mg
Brand: Good 'N Natural · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that for a general wellness and bone health supplement, this product provides a standard dose of calcium. Our assessment is that while calcium is essential, you need to be careful with dosing and potential interactions with other medications. The data does not specify the exact form of calcium in this product, which is a limitation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as the building block for your bones. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it is also critical for neuromuscular relaxation—helping your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after they contract [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. However, for calcium in general, some research suggests that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels 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]. The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but data is not available for this specific product [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Because this product is labeled simply as "Magnesium 250 mg" but the data provided only covers calcium, we cannot recommend it based on the available information. You should only take this if you have verified the label matches your intended ingredient. If you are taking bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, or phenytoin, do not take calcium supplements without consulting your doctor, as calcium can reduce their absorption [NIH ODS].
