Liquid Calcium+ Magnesium Orange Creamsicle
Brain Forza
Overview
This liquid supplement provides core bone health nutrients: Vitamin D3, Calcium, and Magnesium, generally at or near effective doses for support. However, the efficacy of supporting ingredients like L-Lysine, Boron, Manganese (due to unclear dosing), and various plant extracts is compromised by underdosing or lack of transparency regarding specific amounts. The unknown forms of key minerals also affect the overall efficacy assessment.
The Good
Contains Calcium, Magnesium, and Vitamin D3 which are crucial for bone health and have synergistic effects.
Liquid form may offer better absorption for some individuals compared to pills.
The 1200 IU Vitamin D3 dose is robust and supports efficient calcium absorption.
The Bad
Calcium dosage (500mg) is below typical recommended daily intake for adults (1000-1200mg) for bone health, especially when considering the 1:2 Calcium:Magnesium ratio is not ideal for bone density (1:1 is more effective.)
Magnesium dosage (250mg) is good, but the specific form is undisclosed (forms like magnesium citrate or glycinate are generally better absorbed and have fewer GI side effects than oxide).
Manganese is included in a potentially toxic amount (250mg) for a trace mineral, as the label lists 'ng' (nanograms), but this is likely a typo and should be 'mcg' (micrograms). If it truly is 250mg, it's dangerously high.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking bone health support, those with calcium or magnesium deficiencies, people who prefer liquid supplements
Skip If: You have hypercalcemia, kidney disease, or are on medications that interact with calcium or magnesium.
