RiskLow Risk
Overview
•Magnesium citrate at 250mg elemental per serving is well within safe daily limits (350-420mg RDA for adults), with low risk of overdose in healthy individuals.
•Common side effects include mild gastrointestinal upset like diarrhea or nausea, particularly if taken on an empty stomach; this formulation's citrate form may enhance laxative effects at higher doses.
•Potential interactions with antibiotics (e.g., tetracyclines), bisphosphonates, or diuretics; space intake by 2-4 hours to avoid reduced absorption.
•Category C for pregnancy—use only if benefits outweigh risks, such as for leg cramps; consult healthcare provider for dosing up to 350mg/day.
•Contraindicated in severe kidney impairment due to risk of hypermagnesemia; monitor in elderly or those with renal issues.
•Inactive ingredients (veggie capsule, soluble fiber) pose no allergen risks and are gluten-free/non-GMO, with third-party testing ensuring purity.
