Analysis

As with the smaller version, Solgar's choice to include magnesium glycinate chelate is a strong point, as this form is excellent for absorption and often recommended for calming effects on the nervous system, aiding sleep and stress management. The balance with magnesium oxide likely contributes to the overall elemental magnesium content while managing cost. This larger pack offers a better price per serving compared to the 100-count bottle (ID 148360), making it a more economical choice for regular use. Despite the oxide, it remains a solid option for those seeking the benefits of chelated magnesium from a trusted brand.

Pros
  • Contains highly bioavailable Magnesium Glycinate Chelate.
  • Solgar is a reputable brand.
  • Better price per serving than the smaller pack (ID 148360).
  • Good for systemic benefits like stress and sleep.
Cons
  • Includes lower bioavailability Magnesium Oxide.
Warnings
  • Some individuals might experience mild laxative effects due to Magnesium Oxide.
