Analysis

The use of magnesium citrate ensures good absorption and efficacy across various health goals. The addition of a lipid-soluble form of Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) is a minor but potentially synergistic bonus for antioxidant support. The 150mg dosage means some individuals might need two servings to reach optimal daily intake, increasing the cost. However, for those seeking precise dosing or who are sensitive to higher magnesium doses, this can be an advantage.

Pros
  • Highly bioavailable magnesium citrate form
  • Reputable brand
  • Contains a small amount of synergistic Vitamin C
Cons
  • Lower magnesium dosage per serving (150mg) might require multiple capsules for optimal daily intake, thus increasing cost.
Warnings
  • Magnesium citrate can have a laxative effect in some individuals, particularly at higher doses.
