This jar provides a substantial daily magnesium citrate dose, but its 400 mg supplemental magnesium exceeds the U.S. adult supplemental UL and may cause gastrointestinal effects.

Scoring criteria

  • Quantity

    100 / 100

    The labelled 400 mg elemental magnesium daily is an adequate general supplemental maintenance amount.

  • Form

    85 / 100

    Magnesium citrate is a recognized, generally well-absorbed form compared with poorly absorbed magnesium oxide, although it can be more laxative.

  • Convenience

    70 / 100

    The label directs three capsules daily, with division into multiple doses described as preferable rather than required.

  • Label accuracy

    100 / 100

    The stated 400 mg elemental magnesium from 2667 mg magnesium citrate is internally consistent and clearly presented.

  • Purity

    75 / 100

    The label shows ordinary excipients without a documented contaminant or independent purity-control claim.

  • Cofactors

    0 / 100

    The product does not provide a separately quantified complementary cofactor with an established added benefit.
