Analysis

Source Naturals Ultra-Mag provides 400mg of Magnesium Succinate and 30mg of Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6). Magnesium Succinate is a highly absorbable form of magnesium, valued for its role in cellular energy production (Krebs cycle), making this product particularly effective for goals related to energy and metabolism. While the B6 is in the common Pyridoxine HCl form (not the active P-5-P), the excellent bioavailability of the magnesium and the remarkably low price per serving make this supplement an outstanding value. Its high review count further attests to its popularity and perceived effectiveness among users.

Pros
  • Uses highly bioavailable Magnesium Succinate
  • Excellent price per serving
  • High review count
  • Effective for energy and metabolism support
Cons
  • Uses Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (HCl) for B6, which is not the active form (P-5-P)
