Analysis

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.

Pros
  • Includes highly bioavailable and well-tolerated Magnesium Glycinate.
  • From a reputable brand (Carlson).
  • Large number of positive reviews suggests user satisfaction.
Cons
  • 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.
Goals
Stress Relief 70.0
Magnesium glycinate is excellent for stress relief. While effective, the blend with oxide might slightly reduce its potency compared to a pure glycinate product.
Mood Support 70.0
Magnesium glycinate is well-regarded for mood support. This product offers good benefits for mood, though the mixed forms might slightly impact its full potential.
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.
