Our assessment
The evidence shows that Floradix Calcium Magnesium provides calcium, a mineral essential for bone health and nerve function. Our assessment is that this supplement can help you meet your calcium needs, but you must be mindful of total daily intake from all sources. The data confirms that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key building block for your bones and a signal regulator for your nerves and muscles. It works by supporting bone density and mineral deposition, while also helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplement categories, though specific reports for this product are not available.
