MegaFood Relax + Calm Magnesium Soft Chews utilize Magnesium Malate and Magnesium Citrate, both known for their good bioavailability and effectiveness. Malate is beneficial for energy and muscle function, while citrate is known for general absorption and mild laxative effects. The soft chew format is a major convenience factor, making it enjoyable to take, especially for individuals who dislike capsules or powders. However, this convenience comes at a higher price per serving, and the presence of added carbohydrates and calories (9g carbs, 35 calories) might be a concern for those managing sugar intake or on restrictive diets. MegaFood is a reputable brand known for quality.
- Contains well-absorbed magnesium malate and citrate forms, effective for relaxation, muscle support, and energy.
- Soft chew format is highly palatable and convenient for consumption, especially for those who dislike pills.
- From MegaFood, a brand known for high-quality, whole-food-based supplements.
- Significantly higher price per serving compared to capsule or powder forms, making it less economical for long-term daily use.
- Contains added sugars and calories (9g carbs, 35 calories per serving), which may be undesirable for some dietary needs.
- Contains calories and carbohydrates from sugars; individuals with dietary restrictions (e.g., diabetes, low-carb diets) should consider this.
