Anabolic Laboratories Clinical Magnesium
Brand: Anabolic Laboratories · Form: CAPSULE [E0159] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Clinical Magnesium is a well-researched mineral supplement, but it is important to distinguish it from calcium. For magnesium, specific data on this product is not available, so we rely on general mineral safety principles. Calcium, a related mineral, has robust data supporting bone health [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder — it supports bone density and mineral deposition, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. For magnesium, a similar role in neuromuscular function is well-established, though specific mechanism data for this product is not provided.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood and urine 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 absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by checking your dietary intake of minerals. For calcium, aim for dietary sources first as supplements carry risks at high doses [NIH ODS]. For Clinical Magnesium, data on specific dosing is not available, so consult your healthcare provider before starting. Always take calcium supplements separately from thyroid medication or antibiotics to avoid absorption issues [NIH ODS].
