56 out of 100

Magnesium Complex 500 mg may help fill a magnesium intake gap and support normal nerve function, bone metabolism and energy use. Its citrate and oxide proportions are undisclosed, making absorption harder to judge.

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

Nutrient Quality28

The mixture includes citrate, which has better absorption potential than oxide. Undisclosed proportions prevent a clear judgment of how much that advantage matters.

Ingredient Transparency65

Amounts and the two magnesium forms are named. The share of each form is missing, limiting comparisons with products that explain their mixture.

Value For Money46

The magnesium offers limited value because the undisclosed mixture includes a less favorably assessed form. The carbohydrate contribution cannot be valued separately with confidence.

Customer Satisfaction92

Customer feedback is highly favorable across many reviews. The large review base supports confidence in the satisfaction pattern, without showing how much magnesium is absorbed.

Product Focus74

Magnesium is the central ingredient, with the clearest role in meeting nutritional needs. Wider claims about stress, hormones or cardiovascular effects remain less certain.
