- What forms of magnesium are in it?
- It is a complex of several forms, typically including oxide, citrate and chelated forms such as glycinate. The label does not state the amount of each.
- How much magnesium does one capsule give?
- Each capsule provides 500 mg of magnesium from the blend. That is above the typical daily supplement dose, so check with a doctor before taking it daily.
- Will it upset my stomach?
- Magnesium oxide, one of the forms in the blend, can cause loose stools in sensitive people. If that happens, split the dose or switch to a pure glycinate product.
- Is it gluten free?
- Yes, Nutricost labels this product gluten free.
- How does it compare with plain magnesium glycinate?
- Glycinate is gentler on digestion but lower in elemental magnesium per capsule. This blend gives a higher dose but includes oxide, which some people tolerate poorly.
- How many capsules are in a bottle?
- The bottle contains 30 capsules, so one capsule a day lasts about a month.
- Where is the Nutricost Magnesium Complex 500 mg cheapest?
- At Herbspro, for $7.50, as of our latest check.
