A high-quality magnesium supplement blending superior bisglycinate chelate with magnesium oxide, offering excellent systemic benefits at a very reasonable price, especially for a larger supply.
Quantity: 60
This Bluebonnet product is an identical formulation to the smaller pack (ID 200778), also combining Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate—a form highly recommended by nutritionists for its superior bioavailability and gentle digestive profile—with Magnesium Oxide. The 'buffered' characteristic aims to minimize any digestive discomfort. The primary benefit of this product comes from the bisglycinate, which efficiently supports various systemic functions, including stress relief, sleep, and metabolic processes. Offering a slightly better price per serving due to the larger quantity, it represents excellent value for high-quality, comprehensive magnesium supplementation.
- Contains highly bioavailable and gentle Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate, a top-tier form.
- Excellent for systemic absorption across various health goals.
- Generally well-tolerated with reduced gastrointestinal upset.
- Very reasonable price per serving for a chelated magnesium product in a larger quantity.
- From a reputable brand.
- Includes Magnesium Oxide, which has lower systemic bioavailability and can contribute to laxative effects for some users, though buffered.
- Individuals sensitive to magnesium may still experience mild digestive effects, although it's generally well-tolerated.
