leaderboard Score 45.0
A cleanse-focused product utilizing magnesium oxide primarily for its laxative action, offering little value for systemic magnesium supplementation or long-term general health benefits.
Quantity: 60
The product serves its purpose as a cleanse aid by promoting bowel movements through magnesium oxide's osmotic effect and likely other herbal ingredients in the proprietary blend. However, for supporting broad systemic health goals such as energy production, stress relief, or bone health, the magnesium oxide form is highly ineffective due to its very poor absorption.
- May effectively promote bowel regularity for cleansing purposes
- Moderately priced for a cleanse product
- Magnesium is in the poorly absorbed oxide form
- Proprietary blend hides specific ingredient amounts
- Not suitable for long-term or general magnesium supplementation
- Intended for short-term or periodic use only. Prolonged use can lead to laxative dependence or electrolyte imbalances.

Categories
Magnesium 20.0
The product contains magnesium, but solely in the poorly bioavailable oxide form, making it largely ineffective for increasing systemic magnesium levels for most health benefits beyond laxation.
Goals
General Health 25.0
As a cleanse product primarily utilizing poorly absorbed magnesium oxide, its contribution to general health through systemic magnesium benefits is very limited.
Sleep Support 20.0
While facilitating bowel movements might offer an indirect sense of comfort, the magnesium oxide itself provides very limited direct sedative or muscle-relaxing benefits for promoting restful sleep.
Energy 15.0
The magnesium oxide content offers virtually no bioavailable magnesium for cellular energy production, making this product ineffective for supporting energy levels.
