leaderboard Score 30.0
A costly short-term cleanse product that uses magnesium oxide for its laxative effects, not suitable for long-term magnesium supplementation or general health benefits beyond acute digestive purging.
The proprietary blend likely contains herbs designed for cleansing or digestive support. The magnesium oxide is deliberately included for its strong osmotic laxative effect, which is useful in a cleanse program to encourage bowel movements. This product is not designed to provide systemic magnesium benefits for the broad goals listed, and its high price for such limited use is a significant drawback.
- May effectively induce bowel movements for a short-term cleanse
- Contains additional herbal blend (though undisclosed)
- Very expensive per serving
- Magnesium is in the poorly absorbed oxide form
- Not suitable for general health supplementation
- Proprietary blend hides specific ingredient amounts
- Intended for short-term use only. Prolonged use can lead to dependency for bowel movements or electrolyte imbalances. May cause dehydration or mineral depletion if not used carefully.

Categories
Magnesium 15.0
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 20.0
While a short-term cleanse might be perceived as beneficial, the product uses magnesium oxide, which provides minimal systemic absorption, offering negligible long-term general health benefits related to magnesium.
Sleep Support 20.0
While a cleanse might lead to a sense of 'lightness' that could indirectly aid sleep, the magnesium oxide itself offers very limited direct sedative or muscle-relaxing benefits for sleep compared to other magnesium forms.
Energy 10.0
The magnesium oxide content offers virtually no bioavailable magnesium for cellular energy production, making this product ineffective for supporting energy levels.
