Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product, Finest Nutrition Magnesium 400 mg, provides a high dose of magnesium. However, the specific data provided focuses on calcium, not magnesium.

How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component for your bones and a regulator for your muscles and nerves. It supports bone density and mineral deposition, and helps with muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are not available.
