A Carlson blend with good glycinate, but uncertain ratio of less-absorbed oxide and a moderate dose.
Quantity: 90
Carlson Chelated Magnesium Glycinate provides 200mg of elemental magnesium from a combination of Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Glycinate. While Magnesium Glycinate is highly valued for its excellent bioavailability and minimal digestive upset, the presence of Magnesium Oxide, which is poorly absorbed, without a specified ratio, makes it difficult to ascertain the actual amount of effectively absorbed magnesium. The dosage of 200mg might be low for some individuals seeking a therapeutic dose, requiring multiple tablets. Carlson is a reputable brand known for quality, and the price per serving is moderate.
- Includes highly bioavailable and well-tolerated Magnesium Glycinate.
- From a reputable brand (Carlson).
- Large number of positive reviews suggests user satisfaction.
- Contains magnesium oxide alongside glycinate, with an unspecified ratio, potentially reducing overall absorption.
- Elemental dosage of 200mg per serving may be low for some individuals' needs.

Categories
Magnesium 65.0
In the magnesium category, this product is a moderate option due to its inclusion of the superior glycinate form, but its efficacy is partially compromised by the unspecified blend with less effective magnesium oxide.

Sleep Support 70.0
Magnesium glycinate is highly effective for sleep. This product offers good sleep support, but the inclusion of oxide might slightly diminish its ideal potency for this goal.
