Analysis

This product features Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate, a form that is well-absorbed and gentle on the stomach, making it a preferred choice by many nutritionists and users for general magnesium supplementation. It is effective for supporting general health, energy, stress relief, and muscle function due to its superior absorption compared to less bioavailable forms. Online reviews generally confirm its effectiveness and good tolerability. The price point makes it an accessible option for those seeking a high-quality chelated magnesium.

Pros
  • Uses a highly bioavailable and well-absorbed Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate form.
  • Less likely to cause digestive upset (e.g., laxative effect) compared to less absorbed forms.
  • Supports a broad range of health goals effectively due to superior systemic absorption.
Cons
  • Price per serving ($14) is higher than basic magnesium oxide products, though justified by efficacy.
  • May not be the absolute cheapest option among highly bioavailable forms if prioritizing only cost.
  • The specific amino acid used for chelation isn't specified (e.g., bisglycinate), which could impact specific benefits.
