Magnesium Plus Orange-Vanilla Flavor supplies magnesium and supporting nutrients for normal muscle, nerve and energy functions when intake is low. An unnamed blend makes part of the formula unclear.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality44

Folate and potassium have favorable identified forms, while magnesium carbonate is a weaker choice for absorption. Missing details for other nutrients and an unnamed blend limit a complete picture.

Ingredient Transparency74

Amounts and most nutrient forms are disclosed. Vitamin D, bamboo and the unnamed blend lack clear form details, and the blend's components are not individually identified.

Value For Money45

Value is mixed, with favorable potassium and folate comparisons but weak value for magnesium. Other ingredient contributions cannot be compared reliably.

Customer Satisfaction79

Customer ratings are very positive across several hundred reviews. That offers useful satisfaction feedback without confirming sleep, stress or energy benefits.

Product Focus28

Magnesium supplies the main link to normal muscle and nerve functions, alongside broader nutrient support. Its 300 mg serving is substantial, but added sleep or stress benefits remain uncertain and the unnamed blend complicates assessment.
