- How much powder is one serving?
- The label's serving is measured in teaspoons, not a scoop. Check the supplement facts panel and start with a smaller amount to judge tolerance.
- Why does it contain three forms of magnesium?
- Oxide, citrate and aspartate absorb at different rates. The blend aims to give quick and sustained magnesium, though the oxide portion is the least absorbed.
- Can I mix it into anything besides water?
- Yes. It stirs into juice, smoothies or soft food. The unflavored powder is chalky, so a flavored drink hides the taste better than plain water.
- Will it upset my stomach?
- Magnesium oxide and citrate can loosen stools, especially at higher servings. Split the dose or reduce it if that happens.
- Is this the same as Swanson's magnesium capsules?
- The mineral blend is similar, but the powder lets you adjust the serving and skip capsules. Capsules are easier to measure consistently.
- Who should avoid magnesium supplements?
- People with kidney problems or those on certain medications should ask a doctor first, since magnesium can interact with drugs and build up when kidneys are impaired.
- Where is the Swanson Premium Triple Magnesium Complex Powder cheapest?
- At Swanson, for $20.39, as of our latest check.
