9/12

claims fully supported

“5-in-1 Magnesium Formula for Moms”true

Five active ingredients are listed: Magnesium, Chicory Root, Vitamin D3, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin B9 — consistent with a '5-in-1' description targeted at adult women.

“No Added Sugar”true

The nutrition data records addedSugar as 0. However, the gummy base ingredients are not fully disclosed; sweeteners or sugar alcohols commonly used in gummies are absent from the ingredient list, making independent verification of the broader sugar picture impossible.

“Better Sleep”unverified

Magnesium has some mechanistic association with sleep quality, but no clinical trial data, dosing evidence, or cited study is provided in any of the four data sources to substantiate a 'better sleep' outcome claim for this specific product.

“Relieves Stress”unverified

No clinical evidence, study citation, or outcome data is present in the available information to support a stress-relief claim. Magnesium's role in neuromuscular function is noted but does not constitute substantiation for a therapeutic outcome claim.

“Reduces Anxiety”unverified

No clinical evidence, cited study, or outcome data is available in any of the four data sources to support an anxiety-reduction claim. This is a therapeutic outcome claim with no substantiation provided.

“Supports Bone & Muscle Health”true

Vitamin D3 is well-established as supporting calcium absorption, bone mineralisation, and muscle function — recognised by EFSA as a permitted nutrient function claim for Vitamin D. Supported by the ingredient dossier.

“Helps Regulate Mood”true

Vitamin B6 is a cofactor in neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, dopamine, GABA), providing a mechanistic basis for mood regulation. This is consistent with the ingredient dossier and recognised nutrient function claims.

“Supports Relaxation”true

The Magnesium ingredient dossier explicitly lists 'Supports Relaxation' as a key benefit, grounded in magnesium's role as a cofactor in neuromuscular regulation. Consistent with available evidence.

“100% RDA Vitamin D3, B6, and B9”true

The rawLabelData rdaInfo field confirms 100% RDA for Vitamin D3, B6, and B9 per serving, corroborated by the product caveats section.

“42.3% RDA Magnesium”true

The rawLabelData rdaInfo field explicitly states '42.3% RDA' for magnesium per serving, corroborated by the product caveats section.

“Third-Party Lab Tested”true

A full test report from Equinox Labs (Navi Mumbai) covering heavy metals and aflatoxins is present in the extra information, with all parameters conforming to FSSAI limits.

“Mixed Berry Flavour”true

The product is labelled and categorised as Mixed Berry flavour across multiple fields in the product record.

03 — The fuller picture

Read the whole thing if a one-line verdict isn’t enough.

What’s in favour, and what’s working against it

In favour

Delivers 42.3% RDA Magnesium per serving
100% RDA Vitamin D3, B6, and B9 per serving
Chicory root provides prebiotic dietary fibre
Third-party lab tested for heavy metals and aflatoxins (Equinox Labs)
All tested contaminant parameters conform to FSSAI limits
Declared added sugar is zero

Working against

Full gummy base ingredients (binders, sweeteners, colours, flavours) not disclosed
NOVA tier cannot be confirmed from incomplete ingredient list
Therapeutic claims (sleep, anxiety, stress relief) are unsubstantiated
No FSSAI license number provided on product record
Incomplete nutrition panel — energy, carbs, sugar, fat all undeclared
High supplemental Vitamin B6 doses carry peripheral neuropathy risk above EFSA UL of 12 mg/day

Who should approach with care

Kidney Disease — Both supplemental Magnesium and Vitamin D3 carry elevated risk in renal impairment — reduced magnesium excretion can cause hypermagnesemia, while impaired clearance of Vitamin D metabolites elevates hypercalcemia risk even at moderate doses.

Pregnancy — Supplemental Vitamin B6 above EFSA's UL of 12 mg/day in early pregnancy has isolated case reports of congenital concerns; the exact dose in this product is undisclosed and should be confirmed before use during pregnancy.

Lactation — Pharmacological doses of pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) can suppress prolactin secretion and potentially reduce breast milk production; EFSA's UL of 12 mg/day applies to lactating women and the dose here is undisclosed.

Epilepsy — Both Vitamin B6 and Folic Acid (B9) have clinically significant interactions with common antiepileptic drugs (phenobarbital, phenytoin, valproic acid) that can alter drug pharmacokinetics and affect seizure control.

Ibs — Chicory root inulin is a high-FODMAP fructan that can trigger bloating, cramping, and loose stools, and high supplemental magnesium doses exert an osmotic laxative effect — both are likely to worsen IBS symptoms.

Ibd — High-dose inulin fermentation may exacerbate intestinal inflammation in active IBD, and osmotic magnesium effects can worsen diarrhea and electrolyte imbalance; physician guidance is recommended before use.

Heart Disease — Excess Vitamin D3 supplementation can cause hypercalcemia, which may accelerate arterial calcification and worsen cardiovascular outcomes in at-risk individuals as flagged in EFSA safety assessments.

Elderly — High supplemental Folic Acid (≥1 mg/day) can mask haematological signs of Vitamin B12 deficiency — substantially more prevalent in older adults — allowing neurological damage to progress undetected.

Infants — This product is explicitly labelled for adult women only; the label and caveats state 'keep away from reach of children', and multiple ingredients (Magnesium, Vitamin D3, Vitamin B6) have lower age-specific upper limits for infants that this formulation is not designed to respect.

Other — Individuals with granulomatous diseases (e.g., sarcoidosis), primary hyperparathyroidism, known inulin/Asteraceae allergy, MTHFR gene variants impairing folic acid metabolism, or a personal history of colorectal adenomas should seek medical advice before using this supplement.

The full analysis

This product is aimed at adult women seeking a convenient supplement to support relaxation, bone health, and mood via a 5-active-ingredient gummy. The formulation is nutritionally reasonable — delivering 42.3% RDA Magnesium and 100% RDA of Vitamins D3, B6, and B9 per serving, with chicory root adding a prebiotic fibre benefit — and the heavy-metal and aflatoxin panel from Equinox Labs is reassuring. However, the full ingredient list for the gummy base (gelatin or pectin, sweeteners, colours, flavouring agents) is absent from the label data, making NOVA classification impossible from the available information and leaving the 'No Added Sugar' claim difficult to fully corroborate beyond the declared addedSugar: 0 figure. The most useful thing a consumer should know: this is a supplement, not a food — people with kidney disease, epilepsy, or IBS should speak to a doctor before use, and the therapeutic claims (better sleep, reduces anxiety) are not supported by cited evidence in the available data.
