BIOVEA Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 200 mg
Brand: BIOVEA · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that BIOVEA Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 200 mg is a specific formulation of magnesium, but the data provided is for the ingredient calcium, not magnesium. Therefore, we cannot make a direct assessment of this product's efficacy or safety based on the available information. We must rely on what is in the data, and the data points to calcium, not magnesium. The total number of adverse event reports for all dietary supplements in the FDA database is 592,059, but this number is not specific to magnesium or this product [FDA data].
How it works
Based on the provided data, the mechanism described is for calcium, not magnesium. For calcium, think of it as a structural builder and signaler. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. You should not assume this applies to magnesium bis-glycinate.
Safety profile
Data not available for magnesium. The provided safety data is for calcium. For calcium, 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]. Some research also suggests high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Do not apply this safety profile to the product you asked about.
Our recommendation
Data not available to make a recommendation for BIOVEA Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 200 mg. The information provided only covers the mineral calcium. For any supplement, you should consult a healthcare provider before starting, especially to check for interactions. For example, calcium can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Without specific data on magnesium bis-glycinate, a confident recommendation is not possible.
