A well-priced supplement featuring beneficial magnesium glycinate chelate, providing good bioavailability for stress and sleep, though tempered by the inclusion of less effective magnesium oxide.
Quantity: 180
The inclusion of magnesium glycinate chelate is a significant positive, as this form is highly bioavailable, gentle on the stomach, and excellent for neurological benefits like stress relief and sleep. The presence of magnesium oxide is a drawback, as it contributes poorly absorbed magnesium and may cause laxative effects. However, given the price point and the focus on glycinate in the name, it's likely a reasonable source of this premium form, making it a relatively good value for its specific benefits.
- Contains highly bioavailable magnesium glycinate chelate
- Good price per serving
- Gentle on the stomach (from glycinate portion)
- Also contains magnesium oxide, which has poor systemic bioavailability and may contribute to laxative effects.
- The exact elemental magnesium contribution from each form is unclear.
- Can still induce laxative effects due to the oxide component.
