Brand: Protocol For Life Balance · Form: SOFTGEL CAPSULE [E0161] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product is a magnesium citrate supplement, but the provided data focuses on calcium, not magnesium. Based on the data available, we cannot make a specific assessment about the benefits or risks of Protocol For Life Balance Magnesium Citrate. Data for magnesium is not available in the provided materials.
How it works
Without specific data on magnesium citrate, we must rely on the information provided for calcium, a related mineral. For calcium, the mechanism involves bone mineralization — supporting bone density and mineral deposition — and neuromuscular relaxation — supporting muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. These mechanisms do not apply to the magnesium citrate product you are asking about.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements in this dataset [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels of calcium 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]. Safety data for magnesium citrate is not available in the provided data.
Our recommendation
We cannot provide a confident recommendation for Protocol For Life Balance Magnesium Citrate based solely on the data provided, which is about calcium. The data provided does not include information on magnesium dosing, benefits, or specific side effects for this product. Data not available for a full assessment. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
