leaderboard Score 65.0
A high-quality liquid ionic magnesium supplement, but its smaller size translates to poor value per serving.
Quantity: 4
This Trace Minerals Ionic Magnesium product delivers 400mg of magnesium in a liquid ionic form derived from the Great Salt Lake, similar to other products by the brand. It includes a complementary blend of trace minerals such as boron, sulfate, potassium, sodium, and chloride, which are beneficial for comprehensive mineral support. Despite its high quality and excellent absorption characteristics, the smaller 2oz bottle size results in a very high price per serving, making it the least cost-effective option among the analyzed Trace Minerals liquids and potentially for regular supplementation.
- Highly absorbable and effective liquid ionic magnesium form.
- Delivers a substantial 400mg dose of magnesium.
- Contains a beneficial spectrum of naturally occurring trace minerals.
- Convenient small size for travel or initial product testing.
- Highest price per serving among the analyzed products, representing poor value for money.
- Limited number of servings per bottle (14), requiring frequent repurchases for consistent use.
- The strong mineral taste is a common challenge for liquid supplements, requiring dilution.
- Due to its concentrated nature and taste, it should always be diluted in water or juice before consumption to improve palatability and minimize stomach irritation.
- Consumers intending long-term use should consider larger, more economical bottle sizes available from the same brand to reduce cost.
