Product analysis

65 out of 100

Krebs Magnesium Potassium Complex mainly helps fill a magnesium gap, supporting normal energy use and mineral functions. The proportions of its magnesium forms are undisclosed, which makes the mixture harder to compare.

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

Nutrient Quality54

The magnesium mixture uses favorable forms, particularly malate. Their proportions are undisclosed, and potassium's form quality remains uncertain.

Ingredient Transparency65

Amounts are stated and both mineral sources are named. The split between magnesium lysinate and malate is missing, so the exact mixture cannot be checked.

Value For Money63

The magnesium forms offer favorable value at the product's serving cost. Their undisclosed proportions and the uncertain potassium comparison limit conclusions about the full mixture.

Customer Satisfaction83

Customer feedback is very positive. The sizable review pool makes that view less dependent on a few opinions.

Product Focus68

Magnesium provides the clearest nutritional role, especially when intake is low. The wider stress, hormone and heart-related uses have more limited or mixed support.

Magnesium · 250 mg

Magnesium provides the main nutritional contribution, with 250 mg declared per serving. It can help fill a dietary gap and contributes to normal energy-related and mineral processes. The amount provides partial coverage of the saved comparison, without establishing additional general-health benefits when magnesium intake is already adequate.

Magnesium and potassium are relevant to blood pressure and vascular tone. Magnesium effects are small and inconsistent, while potassium findings depend on baseline intake and blood pressure. The 95 mg potassium serving is far below the elemental exposures in the cited trials, so its partial amount recognition does not establish a studied blood-pressure regimen or routine cardiovascular-event prevention.

Magnesium · 250 mgPotassium · 95 mg

Magnesium can help fill a nutritional gap that causes fatigue and weakness. The declared magnesium amount contributes to the saved nutritional comparison. Additional intake does not establish an energy increase when magnesium status is adequate, and the declared forms do not inherit results from a different finished formula.

How this product is rated for Energy

Ingredient fit83

Magnesium has a relevant nutritional or fatigue-related connection, but the amount comparison cannot establish clinical benefit.
Goal fit
Magnesium provides the relevant connection, while the product's wider purposes affect its focus on energy.
Dose adequacy
The known quantities make a partial combined contribution to the saved comparison, rather than establishing a fatigue-treatment dose.

Pathways0

No contribution was recorded for the configured energy pathways; correction of nutrient-related fatigue is a separate role.
Depth
No contribution was recorded for the configured energy pathways; correction of nutrient-related fatigue is a separate role.
Breadth
None of the configured alertness, exercise-energy or stress-fatigue pathways received coverage.

Evidence88

Magnesium's relevant nutritional role concerns fatigue with low intake or deficiency, rather than added energy above adequacy.

Magnesium · 250 mg

Magnesium may help you feel less stressed when low magnesium is part of the problem. Whether it gives lasting relief from everyday stress more broadly is unclear. The serving contains magnesium from lysinate and malate, but those forms and the declared amount don't by themselves guarantee a calming effect.

Potassium · 95 mgMagnesium · 250 mg

Magnesium and potassium contribute to vascular tone and blood-pressure-related functions. Magnesium findings are mixed, with greater plausibility when magnesium status is low or blood pressure is elevated; the declared lysinate and malate forms do not establish superior cardiovascular effects. Potassium findings depend on intake and population, and the 95 mg serving is well below exposures used in the supplied trials. Their shared function does not establish an extra combined benefit or prevention of cardiovascular events.

Ingredient fit75

Both minerals are relevant, with partial serving amounts relative to their references.
Goal fit
Magnesium and potassium give the formula a clear connection to vascular support.
Dose adequacy
Both minerals contribute partially by amount, rather than meeting fully recognized references.

Pathways52

The contribution is concentrated in vascular tone and sodium balance.
Depth
The two minerals together provide the strongest coverage in vascular tone and sodium balance.
Breadth
Only vascular tone and sodium balance reach substantial coverage.

Magnesium contributes to mineral intake, but the supplied hormone findings come from limited exercise-related conditions and do not establish a routine testosterone increase.

How this product is rated for Testosterone Support

Ingredient fit68

Magnesium account for the goal-related contribution. The declared amounts determine how much each contributes to the saved findings.
Goal fit
Magnesium is the ingredients counted toward this goal, within a formula also serving broader nutritional purposes.
Dose adequacy
Magnesium has an amount that partly meet the saved amount references; these references do not establish a proven testosterone dose.

Pathways60

The recorded pathway contribution is concentrated in free-testosterone availability, with no broad coverage across hormone mechanisms.
Depth
The saved findings concentrate on free-testosterone availability, but the supplied scientific context does not establish a dependable increase in free testosterone.
Breadth
Only free-testosterone availability received meaningful coverage; stress regulation and testicular testosterone synthesis did not.

Evidence74

The strongest relevant evidence comes from magnesium. The nutrient-specific limits remain important when interpreting these findings.
Evidence strength
Magnesium provides the strongest counted evidence, although the available hormone findings are limited to particular exercise conditions.
Studied preparation
Magnesium was accepted as matching studied preparations; this does not establish superiority of the listed forms.

Formulation logic100

The counted ingredients meet the minimum amount criterion and have no unmet partner requirement or triggered configured conflict.
Partner coverage
The counted ingredients have no unmet partner requirement in the supplied findings.
Conflicts
No configured ingredient conflict was triggered by the supplied amounts.
