Integrative Therapeutics Tri-Magnesium
Brand: Integrative Therapeutics · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the Integrative Therapeutics Tri-Magnesium supplement is intended to provide calcium, based on the ingredient data available. However, the specific health effects of this product depend entirely on the calcium content, which is listed on the label but not provided in this data set. Our assessment is that while calcium is a critical mineral, you should be aware of its potential risks and interactions before use [NIH ODS].
How it works
Calcium acts as a master regulator for several key bodily functions. It is essential for bone mineralization, helping to build and maintain bone density. Additionally, it supports neuromuscular relaxation, meaning it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Based on FDA data, there have been 592,059 total adverse event reports for products in this category [FDA data]. The NIH ODS notes that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very 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].
Our recommendation
Check the product label for the exact calcium dosage per serving. To minimize risk, avoid exceeding the recommended daily allowance without medical supervision. Be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin, so take this supplement at a different time from these medications [NIH ODS].
