56 out of 100

Malic Acid 1500 mg with Magnesium may help fill low magnesium intake that affects normal muscle function and energy. The undisclosed botanical blend makes its added contribution harder to judge.

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

Nutrient Quality57

The identified magnesium, manganese and thiamin forms provide some support for ingredient quality. Malic acid and the botanical blend have less detail, limiting confidence in the blend as a whole.

Ingredient Transparency67

Declared amounts make serving comparisons easier. The botanical blend does not identify its individual components, so its total weight gives limited guidance.

Value For Money45

Magnesium and manganese offer moderate value, while thiamin is less economical at the serving cost. Value for malic acid and the other components remains uncertain.

Customer Satisfaction78

Customer feedback is very positive across several hundred ratings. It describes satisfaction without establishing relief from fatigue or stress.

Product Focus35

The clearest purpose is supplying magnesium when intake is low, with a possible bowel-softening effect. The substantial magnesium serving exceeds the supplemental reference described, so the amount deserves attention when judging suitability.
