Analysis

KAL's Pretty Magnesium uses magnesium citrate, which is highly recommended by nutritionists for its systemic benefits and its ability to help with occasional constipation. The Pomegranate flavor in a liquid or powder format is a plus for palatability and ease of consumption, making it attractive for a broader audience, including those who struggle with traditional pills. However, the $0.35 price per serving is on the expensive side for magnesium citrate, especially when compared to higher-ranked products with superior value. The low review count also means less community feedback on its effectiveness and side effects, making it a riskier choice compared to more established options.

Pros
  • Uses highly bioavailable Magnesium Citrate.
  • Pleasant pomegranate flavor, appealing for those who dislike pills.
Cons
  • High price per serving for Magnesium Citrate.
  • Low review count compared to competitors.
  • Contains added carbohydrates and calories.
Warnings
  • Magnesium Citrate can cause mild laxative effects.

Categories
Magnesium 65.0
Despite being magnesium citrate and having a pleasant flavor, the high price per serving and limited reviews make this a less competitive option for a magnesium supplement.
Goals
General Health 68.0
Magnesium citrate is good, but the high price per serving makes it less ideal for consistent general health supplementation.
Energy 65.0
While it supports energy, its cost-effectiveness is diminished due to the higher price for this form.
Stress Relief 65.0
Can aid stress, but more affordable citrate options or targeted forms exist for better value.
