Directions on the label

Suggested Usage: Mix 1 level teaspoon of powder into at least 8 oz. of cold water or clear liquid until fully dissolved. To fully dissolve, add powder slowly while stirring. Once prepared, this mixture may be added to smoothies or juices as desired. Take once daily with a meal. Pure magnesium citrate powder can increase the temperature of liquids upon contact; therefore, the recommended serving MUST be mixed into at least 8 oz. of cold liquid to neutralize this reaction prior to ingestion.

A straightforward once-daily magnesium citrate powder with an adequate elemental dose, but its 450 mg serving exceeds the US supplemental magnesium UL and may cause gastrointestinal effects.

Scoring criteria

  • Quantity

    100 / 100

    The labelled routine provides 450 mg elemental magnesium, a reasonable supplemental amount for general adult supplementation; the UL concern is assessed separately under safety.

  • Form

    85 / 100

    Magnesium citrate is a soluble form with a recognized absorption advantage over less-soluble forms such as oxide, though it can have a laxative effect.

  • Convenience

    100 / 100

    The label directs one 3 g measured portion once daily; the two containers provide 152 servings at 76 per container.

  • Label accuracy

    100 / 100

    The panel consistently identifies 450 mg magnesium from 3000 mg magnesium citrate per serving.

  • Purity

    75 / 100

    No additional ingredients are listed, but the supplied information does not establish product-specific purity testing.

  • Cofactors

    0 / 100

    No separately quantified supporting ingredient is declared.
